I'll be spending a month in Melbourne this christmas ( december to early Jan) and want to plan some places to visit when I go. I stayed for the same amount of time 2 years ago so i've already visited most of the main attractions:

Phillip Island - Penguin parade (Is it worth visiting other parts of the Island?)

Luna Park

St Kilda

Dandenongs

Brighton beach

Any other suggestions or hidden gems?? Also, any tips on any good burger places in the city?

thanks :)

I went to a conference last week on rap music and black identities and heard a word which i think was

'equisiano' but i can't find it anywhere, is the correct? He said that it was a term to decribe people who don't feel part of their country of residence but feel closer to their country of birth

THANKS!!

how would you say this? I keep think of habia cambiado - which isn't right, or debia cambiado which i dont think is correct either

I want to say that cinema was born during the 1930's and so far i have put:

C'était pendant les années de 30 que le cinema a été né

BUT i think it might be, était né as it is over a period of time and therefore should use the imperfect??

also after looking at it agin, would it sound better to say 'le cinema était/a été né pendant les années 30 ??

merci :)

I have an example like this

La liberté consiste à pouvoir faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui

where i have to signify:

a) a) le pronom relatif,

b) l'antécédent et

c) si le pronom est un pronom sujet ou objet direct

I did do it and i got it correct but i don't understand it, especially whether the ce qui/ce que is le pronom sujet or objet direct. At the top it did say that 'ce qui' is pronom sujet - but why???

thanks

I have to do this exercise where i have to complete sentences by adding a verb, i've done most of them apart from this

?Qué es lo que mas _______ lo de vivir solo?

I have these to choose from: echar de menos/en falta, sentirse, encantar, tener miedo, gustar, sentir, llevar (bien/mal), ser, dar miedo/envidia, disfrutar

Please could you also explain why (I guessed te sientes but i think its wrong)

gracias

I have the sentence here which i have to analyse but i'm not sure whether what i've come up tith is correct :

'La souris a été mangée par le chat'

So far i have

la souris - subject and direct object (because it is directly receiving the action from the verb?)

a - auxilary

été/mangée - both past participles? (and also is manger a transitive verb as you have to eat something)

par - prepostion

le chat - indirect object?

would really appreciate any help you could give on this, THANKS :)

I've just moved to uni and realised that i've started using my phone a lot more for calling family (don't tend to text much). As my current phone is breaking I'm looking to get a cheap replacement (no more than £30) and wondering which network is the best? I think I've narrowed it down to Tesco mobile and Orange: Tesco as they double the top up that you put on, Orange as on canary plan you get 100mins free evening calls per £10 a month and can use magic numbers which give you a 1 hour call for 1 min (also added bonuses of itunes film rental and orange wednesdays.

Which do you think would be most beneficial to somone who uses a lot of minutes (I would not go on a contract)

thanks

I'm starting a dual French and Spanish course this september and don't get me wrong I love the subjects i'm taking but i'm getting a bit more worried as the time gets closer.

Any advice or tips from those that have just completed their first years would be greatly appreciated, just don't really know what to expect :/

So I'm starting on a dual French and Spanish degree course at Leeds University this September and really don't know what to expect.

I love languages and so far I have always got A's and A*'s but I was a little freaked out when I saw all the reading lists and heard that particularly the Spanish course is fully communicated in Spanish

I'm willing to put the work in and I naturally do work at home in both languages on a daily basis but it just seems very scary :/

Any advice/tips or just reassurance would be appreciated!

I've just finished my A levek course and starting a French and Spanish degree this september and am looking for some relatively easy french literature to read in the holidays to get me used to French novels

We did read one last year that I found quite simple vocab wise to read, l'étranger (although the themes are quite complex I found)

I was given another one that I have just tried today, le blé en herbe, but i didn't really get into it and the vocabulary was quite difficult

Does anyone have any recommendations of easy to read French novels, I have considered another work by Albert Camus such as la peste - is that quite difficult?

MERCI :)

P.S I am looking for actual french literature, not translations of english books or kids books

Hey

I've got my A2 French exam on Friday and i'm just looking for some extra quotes to learn to put in my essay that could be useful in analysing the characters, the police, the banlieue or the film in general

MERCI

I already have some:

- La haine attire la haine

- ce n'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterisage

- le monde est à vous

Any others would be greatly appreciated, particularly for the three main characters

:)

I'm wanting to say 'the worst effects'

should it be

1) Les effets les plus pires

2) Les plus pires effets

3) something else

and why?

thanks

Hey, i've always been confused as when to use d'... and when to use de l'....

for example why do you say plus de l'argent and not plus d'argent?

The sentence I made was 'the use of slang' - would it be l'usage de l'argot or l'usage d'argot???

and WHY???

THANKS, IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

Hi, I've just found this watercolour painting of bolton abbey which is signed as 'E. Ickringill' - but i can't seem to find out about him anywhere

Does anyone know this artist or know anything about his work?

Help would be gratefully appreciated

if i were to say i can't guarantee that, no puedo avalar que

would it use the subjuctive?

Im presuming yes as there is an element of doubt but i can't seem to find anywhere that mentions that it is

thanks

Hey

I've got my A2 speaking test this tuesday and already have learnt some specific vocab and phrases that i could use but does anyone have something that would really stand out (I'm hoping to get an A or even an A* this year so i really want to make an impact)

thanks

Some topics that we have are unemployment, environment, nuclear energy, racism ect...

MERCI!

I got a really cut pig USB head cover for my birthday last week but I can't find any memory sticks that would fit it (they all seem to have covers) does anybody know where I could find one that fits, a 4th memory if possible?

So its my 18th birthday next month and I have no idea what to ask for

No-one has any ideas and i don't want some ordinary things like CD's because it's my 18th, I want something different

Any ideas?

whydo they use the number 7?

thanks
