First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hi everybody !
Hope you have a good evening.

So, this is my first post on this notebook (please don't be baaad!) Let me introduce myself : I'm "Luciole" (not my real name, just a surname). It means "Firefly".

I'm looking for new friends who can teach me English and who I can teach French of course ! I'm a student in 3rd year of graphic design and after school, I'd like to work in the USA for a few years.
And before that (during school then), I've got many internships to do and I'd love to do it in an English country (England or the USA) to improve my language.

So.. if you're interested, don't hesitate to send me a message, I promise to reply as soon as possible !

See you !

 

In English, we always capitalize the names of languages: English, French, Spanish, etcetera.

We also always capitalize "I," no matter where it is in a sentence!

English sentences always have to have a subject, so a sentence like "Means 'Firefly'" is not grammatically correct. Putting "The name" (which is the subject here) or a pronoun ("It" in this case) at the beginning makes it gramatical: "The name means 'Firefly'" / "It means 'Firefly.'"

Because the full title of the USA is "The United States of America," we put "the" in front of "USA." (Mais la plupart de la fois on utilise plutôt "America" ou "the US"!)

Because "years" is a count noun (that just means you can count them: one year, two years, ten years. A non-count noun is something like "bread". You don't say "two breads," you say "two loaves of bread" or "two slices of bread" or something. C'est different du français!) you cannot put the word "some" in front of it. It is better to use "a few" or "a couple of" instead!

J'oublie comment expliquer "to improve." Desolée! But a verb like "send" must be infinitive (have the "to" in front of it) if there is another conjugated verb before it. Quelques examples: "I waited to get my dinner," "She wants to play games," "Don't hesitate to send a message." Also, I fixed the spelling of "promise."

 

I hope that helps! Bon courage. :)
