DELF results certificate and diploma Hello all I did my B1 DELF and passed. I've just received an email telling me my diploma is ready to collect, and that I should already have collected my results certificate. I wasn't notified that the results certificate was ready for collection and I'm probably not going to collect it as I can't be bothered to trek into London. What is the difference between the diploma and the results certificate? Thanks.

Baking cakes en francais At work we have a baking competition, and each week someone brings in a cake that they baked themselves and we give it a score. What is the French for a baking competition, specifically for cakes? I thought, concours de cuisson, but I've googled that with no success. Thanks

You didn't only ask me... Picture the scene, Sicily, 1927... My French wife asked me to wash the car, pump its tyres up and check the oil. It was so hot that I couldn't be bothered to do it all so I just checked the oil. Later on she screams at me, in French, I only asked you to wash the car and you can't be bothered to do that. I reply, you didn't only ask me to wash the car, you asked me to wash the car, pump the tyres up and check the oil. How do I translate: I only asked you to... You didn't only ask me to... Would I use que or seulement and where would it go? Je t'ai seulement demandé de faire qqch Tu ne m'as pas seulement demandé de faire qqch Je t'ai demandé que de faire qqch Tu ne m'as pas demandé que de faire qqch (This option sounds all kinds of wrong but is there a way of using que?) Or would I say it another way? Thanks

Typical french baking equipment This is a 'culture' question, not a language question. Hi. My partner has the big 50 coming up and I'm creating a gift list for friends of French baking items. I'm struggling to find stuff that is specifically French. All I've come up with is a madeleine tray and a thing for cooking baguettes on that makes them crispy. Any suggestions? Thanks

Are these French/English translations correct? j'aurais dû me souvenir de... - I should have remembered... je devrais m'en souvenir - I should remember it je m'en serais acheté - I would have bought some/it je m'en serais souvenu - I would have remembered it je m'en suis déjà occupé - I already dealt with it Merci!

What's the difference? Quelle est la différence? Qui a fait tuer ...? Qui a tué ...? La première phrase est ici: http://webdoc.rfi.fr/burkina-faso-qui-a-fait-tuer-sankara/ Pourquoi pas juste la deuxième?

Ce que je tiens dans mon sac Il y a trois compartiments dans mon sac. Devant, je garde mes écouteurs et du chewing-gum. Le plus grand compartiment porte un bloc-notes et un stylo, es lunettes de soleil, des comprimés contre le mal à la tête, et plusieurs sacs en plastique. Mon portable se trouve dans la petite poche à l'arrière, ainsi que mes clés et de la petite monnaie.

How do I say 'six pack' in French, as in a muscular stomach? And is a six pack of beer the same word? Thanks
