Well, I speak both English and French.
Contact me if you need any further help.

Online dictionary that I usually use:
http://www.lookwayup.com/free/EnglishFrenchDictionary.htm

"LE RESTAURANT"...restaurant is 'masculin' in French (un restaurant)

"la" goes in front of feminine nouns
"le" goes in front of masculine nouns
" l' " goes in front of words that always start with a voyel (a,e,i,o,u,y).

For plural nouns, it's always "les" whether it's masculine or feminine nouns...

Good luck.

Restaurant is Masculine. Use "un" or "le"

That is the eternal problem. There are a few hints, but no universal rules.
If the word ends in a vowel, its probably feminine
If it ends in a consonant, guess masculine (like restauant above)
If it ends with "eau" - bateau, cadeau, etc then its masculine

Ok how do you make la, l' a plural!?!?!? I know how to do le but not la, or l'!

Plural of La/Le is LES. yup, only one option.
L' is what you use before a word that starts with a vowel. French dont like putting two vowels together so they just dropped one and use the apostrophe.
It could be either LE or LA, but the plural is still LES.

If you go to a big bookstore, they will surely have a French-English dictionary you can buy, even paperback ones. Try Borders, Waldenbooks or Barnes and Noble. If time isn't of the essence, try eBay or Amazon.com or half.com. eBay and half.com have them really cheap. http://search.half.ebay.com/french-english-dictionary_W0QQqueryZfrenchQ2denglishQ20dictionaryQQmZbooks

Your local library probably has one, but it probably has to be used on the premises.

go to www.dictionary.cambridge.org , scroll and click on french to English dictionary. type the french word in the field and press the "look it up" button. you can translate English words to french the same way.

or you can go to www.dictionary.com and click on "translator". you can translate many foreign sentences to English and vice-versa.
