Bonjour! En ce moment, j'essaie d'écrire le 'coursework' français sur le sujet du 'binge-drinking' en France. Il serait très utile de pouvoir parler à quelqu'un qui habite en France et qui peut expliquer la situation actuelle. Je n'ai pas beaucoup de questions et la rédaction que je dois écrire n'est pas long - si vous pouvez/tu peut (I never know how polite to be :)) m'aider un peut, m'envoyez un PM :) Merci!
PS. Sorry if I've desecrated the French language, it wasn't intentional. |

I know! You don't want to come off too formal, but then again you don't want to insult anybody. Do people drive home from events saying, "I can't believe he called me 'tu' instead of 'vous!' Who does he think he is???" Or do they say, "Enough with the vous, sheesh!" It can be very awkward. |

Even for us it's awkward sometimes!
But on the web, just use "tu". People won't care :)

Thanks, I've now finished that piece of work but I have to do another soon, so if you know anything about transport... ;) Actually I should be alright, I think there's more information about that than I had about le binge-drinking (bow down to my french prowess :P)

Indeed ^^, there is more information about transport. Well, if you want to know something...you can ask me ^_^.
What do you want to know about transport? (Tubes, air transport...etc)

I don't know yet, but mainly inner-city public transport and measures to cut traffic probably. I'll get back to you if/when I need to know anything. |
