Hi Sharon--odd combination of sentences: "This Turkish journalist is very sporty. This widow ('stait'?) a loving, attentive and naive. I saw an old, careful/worrying Greek man."

The second sentence has a word in it that is not a word, and in addition the adjectives look like they are supposed to apply to the widow, but the sentence is a bit bizarre. Hope this helps!

The thanks for visiting hsajdhakif! You are correct, the French like their holidays. If you're researching holidays, you might like to see French Holiday Sayings.

-- Contributed by: Valorie Delp

The French enjoy 11 national jours feri©s (holidays) annually. The civic calendar was first instituted in 1582; Bastille Day was incorporated in 1789, Armistice Day in 1918, Labor Day in 1935, and Victory Day in 1945. During the month of May, there is a holiday nearly every week, so be prepared for stores, banks and museums to shut their doors for days at a time. It is a good idea to call museums, restaurants and hotels in advance to make sure they will be open.

Jessica, the word for dinosaur in French is dinosaure. However, saying "je suis dinosaure" wouldn't make any sense in French unless you were literally, a talking dinosaur. ;-) Someone who is elderly can be referred to as "une personne de certain age."

The way to talk about your favorite film is to say: Mon film prfr est. . .and then list the film with its English title unless you know its French title.

Titles in general are not directly translated but rather they are "renamed" to reflect the nuance of the language. Therefore, in general, it's better to list the title in English if you don't know its French title or better yet, describe the plot of the film in French to practice those speaking skills!
