Omelette du fromage. Only thing I remember in French :P  

The GCSE oral is pretty easy. I think languages are taught really badly at school though, if you are learning through rote repetition you are doing something wrong, languages don't work like that. I don't remember any French after doing it for 5 years and learnt more of Japanese in a month than ever did of French. Vocab cramming and only minor allusions to grammar (without much practice either) doesn't work. Suppose it's what you get for teaching in groups of 30.

When starting out in French I had some great teachers that didn't force things, but made it pretty enterataining. I never stuck with it though, but hey. Reading some of these posts made my day, considering I'm about to go to Sociology exam...

Laissez-les bons temps roulez!

O raly?

the main thing to remember when speaking french is to articulate. we english-speakers talk from our throats and we hardly move our lips. proof for this is to ask a french man to speak while keeping his teeth together; he won't be able to do it. us english people can talk as loudly as we like with our teeth together due to our throat doing all the work and not the lips.

other that that; restes calme, ne parles pas trop vite, et au pire des cas, dites-leur en anglais d'aller se faire foutre, que notre langue maternelle soit la meilleure du monds et que, si ca leur plait pas, que ca te regardes pas et que tu les enmerdes! ;)

bonne chance an su...

:D... Google Translate FTW.

Why you learning french in UK :o

 Even in Canada, we are supposed to be bilingual or whatever you called it, and I don't think I met one english talking guy able to say one word of french :o
