J'ai plutôt l'impression que tu as plus de mal à choisir les bons mots en anglais. (I rather feel like you have more difficulties to chose the right words in English.)
J'aimerai l'avis de DJ là-dessus: il aurait été mieux d'utiliser "improve" plutôt que "progress", non? (I'd like an opinion from DJ about it: it would've been better to use "improve" than "progress", wouldn't it?)

Le problème est que "That" est utilisable comme déterminant de la troisième personne "C' / Ce / Cette", mais j'approuve quand même.
(The problem is that "That" can be used as a third person pronoun equivalent to the French "{cut for vowel / masculine or neutral / feminine}", but I still approve.)

@45Traeath : j'pense que mon selection de mots (en français p/c j'ai traduit mon phrase en français à anglais) est comme qu'est-ce que tu m'a dit parce que je n'ai pas un grand collection de vocabulaire français, et je n'aime pas d'utiliser les vocabs je ne connais pas (at least that's what i think the reason is)

i think my selection of words (in french because i translated my french sentence into english) is like what you've said because i don't have a good range of vocab in french, and i don't like using vocab that i don't know.

it's more like a habit because it's how i used to get around vocab i didnt know with other similar words because you're not allowed dictionaries during french writing tests. :>

quand j'étais petit (9 ans), mon école avait une leçon pour le français (c'était maroc) et on a utilisé une livre avec une grenouille et un ordinateur comme personnages. tous les temps, l'histoire a commencé avec "il était une fois, un grenouille..". tous les temps. à cause de ça, je vais jamais oublier les mots "une grenouille" et "un ordinateur".
en plus, (c'est un peu random) parce que j'ai étudié le français depuis quand j'étais petit, j'ai un bon prononciation en français, ainsi tous les autres pensent que je parle français avec l'aise au debut, mais je ne suis pas bon du tout. jpp

when i was little (9 years old) my school had a lesson for french (this was in morocco) and we used a book with a frog and a computer as characters. all the time the story began with "there once was a time, a frog..". all the time. because of this, i will never forget the words "frog" and "computer".
also, (this is a little random) because i studied french since i was little, i have a good pronounciation in french, so others think that i'm fluent in french at the beginning but im not good at all. lol

C'est à peu près ça <y a rien d'incorrect, c'est juste moi qui déforme la langue à ma manière>; mais on dirait plus souvent "Je ne sais pas quoi dire". (That's around it <there's nothing wrong, I'm only deforming/distorting the language in my own way>; people would usually say "..." though.)

Les ananas ne parlent pas.

Pineapples don't talk.

^ Quand j'étais dans le 9e année mon professeur de Francais nous a montré un émission de télé pour les petits enfants juste pour s'amuser. Il y avait un garçon et une fille et aussi un ananas qui parle beaucoup. À une moment donné l'ananas a dit ''Je suis un ananas'' et aussi ''Les ananas ne parlent pas''. Pour notre classe ça c'était les phrases le plus marquants de l'émission, et les prochaines trois semaines étaient remplis de blagues sur les ananas. C'était une désastre.

^ When I was in grade 9 my French teacher showed us a kids' TV show just for fun. There was a boy and a girl and also a talking pineapple. At one point the pinapple said "I am a pineapple" and "Pineapples don't talk". For our class those were the most memorable parts of the show, and the next three weeks were filled with jokes about pineapples. It was a disaster.

(1) Gender mistake in the pronoun
(2) Correct, but not really said as often like this.
(3) "c'" being the abbreviation of "ça", the latter became unneeded
(4) Linked to noun being plural
(5) Gender mistake in the adjective
(Also, I don't even know how a native French would see the grades, so I left it.
Note to DJ: "singulars" that naturally end with "s" - like "ananas" - make them invariable.)

im going to canada in a month (1) but not to quebec. a little(??) disappointed
(1) "Au cours de [...]", if I'm not being wrong in what I learnt is very close to "During"; if you stick with "in a month", then it's quite easy(? XD) like this.
(?) Depending on gender, it might be a mistake; "deçue" is the feminine.
(??) 'Would have said "A bit disappointed", but I'll let that to DJ.

(1) Gender mistake in the pronoun
(2) Correct, it's just that the adject' can be placed either before or after the noun/word (I don't think it would work with "petits enfants" though).

et plus, je suis une fille mais sur l'internet j'ai toujours m'adresser avec les verbes masculins, ainsi j'ai l'utilise tous les temps...

et plus (?), je suis une fille mais sur l'internet j'ai toujours m'adresser avec les adjectifs verbes(EDIT) au masculin (EDIT2), ainsi j'ai l'utilise (?) tout (2) le (3) temps...

I had studied words such as "since", "ago" and "when/upon" but it had been two months since I last had a French lesson/class.
Moreover(?), I'm a girl but I'm used to using[?] the masculine forms of the adjectives <and perfect/passive forms> to express myself (EDIT4)*, so I've being speaking like this(?) since then**...
(1) Just wrong, as/because "French" would be understood as an adjective, but I guess you're talking about classes and lessons.
(2) "Tous" et "Toutes" are respective masculine and feminine forms of "Every", "Tout" is the "indefinite gender" version, which kind of makes it equal to "Every" and also "All".
(3) The idiomatic French expression just wants "Temps" (lit.: "Time", but "Tout le temps" is "Always" EDIT3: also "Everytime", now that I could think about it) to be singular. Unless the word "Temps" is intentionally plural in a sentence.
(?) Wrong wording, but since I don't know what was intended to be said, I left the French side as it is and supposing/assuming an English translation.

[?] DJ, I need guidance for what the verb becomes when one uses "used to". In this case: "use" or "using"? Or are what I had been taught wrong?

*There are English "perfect/passive forms" (don't know how to call), which are technically adjectives when used in a sentence, I guess. Just pointing that out, because gender stuff is applied to them; using synonyms that involve not using adjectives could be an option, but I can't come up with an example right now.
**Literally, would be "always", but I don't think I'm able to use it when translating this.
(EDIT) Verbs can't take/have any gender.
(EDIT2) That, was the adjective, this is the corrected and usually worded version XD

Doesn't "il y a" mean "there is/are" in French :thinking:
45Traeath
Vrai. (True.)
Mais ça dépend de ce qui suit, puisqu'il y a plus de manières d'exprimer quelque chose en anglais qu'en français, je suppose.
(But that depends on what follows, as there are more ways to express something in English than in French, I suppose.)

S'il faut un exemple, je ne vois vraiment pas comment "Il y a longtemps que cela est arrivé" pourrait être traduit comme "There is a long time that it happened".
(If an example's needed, I really don't see how "..." would be translated as "...".)

I don't know about the German part but...
If I go with what's in the last parenthesis, there are............ Uh, let's get to the point already.

"I have no apples" strictly states (to me) that the number is clearly zero, which would become "Je n'ai aucune pomme" to express the same emphasis on the "zero" side.
The way I corrected the quote would have have it mean "I don't have any apple".
Also as you see, "apple" is singular in that kind of statement.
