The sentence is
"Specifically I would like to see different cities in England and France."
Does a comma go in after specifically or not?

This isn't homework. I'm writing something, and when I wrote down this sentence it looked wrong.

Sentence structure seem to require a comma after specifically.

It should say, "Specifically, I would like to see different cities in England and France" That is my personal look.

Dear Madame,
I will not this question, because I feel that this is homework assignment. I will concur with Peter Pan that you need to do your own homework. Believe me, you don't want to trust the psychos on this network with "English" answers. Half of these people don't know the difference between a comma and a coma. That said, listening to the counsel of this Q/A board, will eventually lead you to mass panic, chaos, and eventually a lovely, cozy home on the side of the road, in a house made entirely of pizza boxes. In other words, if you begin now to depend on others for answers in this type of a relationship (Typer/Responder), you will not get into a college due to lack of merits.

Yes, there is supposed to be a comma after specifically.

Definately after speciffically. The comma represents a pause as if you were speaking the sentence.

Specifically, I would put the comma there.
but... if you change the order of words, no comma is needed.
I would specifically recommend that you follow the above example.
i know, it's weird sometimes, isn't it.

It really depends what the sentence you want to sound like. Think if you want to pause after specifically or no. Personally, i wouldn't

Yes, because it's a natural spoken pause.
