I started working for a French company two years ago. I picked up some French during the first year and then really started in earnest to try to learn for the past year.

    To add to Paul's reply,

    While you could say "miss" to address a younger woman you don't know, you might say "ma'am" for a woman who is older.  There is no clear line on when you would call someone "ma'am" instead of "miss".  I guess it depends on the age of the speaker and the age of the woman.  It can be a joke in the US that, as a woman, you know you are getting older when people start calling you "ma'am".  For example, my wife might come and say, "God, I'm getting old.  I was at the grocery store and every young kid working at the cash registers kept calling me ma'am".


    Also, a suggestion: when writing, use the word "and" instead of "n" and use "you" instead of "u".  Often when speaking "and" sounds like "n", but when writing you should write "and".

    Short animation film

    Hi everyone!
    I love the short film "Vincent" of Tim Burton and I search for other short animation film as good as this one. So, if someone wants to recommend me... (I don't know how to say: m'en recommander un), it will be very nice!

     

    Bonjour.  Vous pouvez dire "if someone wants to recommend one to me" et aussi "it will be very nice" n'est pas incorrecte, mais normalment, en anglais on dit "it would be very nice".  J'espere que j'ai vous aider.  J'apprends le francais depuis un an.  Si vous voyez des erreurs dans ce message, s'il vois plait, dites moi.  Merci.
