Region: J'aime le Perigord. C'est un bel endroit dans le sud-ouest de la France. On y trouve des cavernes prehistoriques avec des traces des premiers hommes. Les gens y sont accueillants. La nourriture y est splendide. La ville de Sarlat est magnifique.

I like Perigord. It is a beautiful place in the south west of France. You can find prehistoric caverns with traces of the first men. People there are very welcoming. The food is wonderful. The town of Sarlat is magnificent.

Bonheur: Ma vision du bonheur est une terre ou tous les gens s'entendent. Il ne devrait pas y avoir de guerre ou de famine ou de crime.Puis le bonheur est de vivre avec ceux que l'on aime dans des conditions tolerables . Pour le moment, le bonheur est d'avoir ma chatte qui ronronne sur mes genoux. Je ne serais pas heureuse sans beaucoup de livres, de musique classique et de fleurs.

My vision of happiness is a world where there all people get on together. There should be no war, famine or crime. Happiness is to live with the folk you love in tolerable physical conditions. At the moment happiness is to have my cat purring on my lap.I would not be happy without lots of books, classical music or flowers.

What some idiots would not do for 10 points! I need my head examined. Actually, I enjoy the challenge. Next time, post it in three different questions.

Answer 2

Je ne sais quoi, blanc tableau, hors d'oeuvre, maitre d' (short for maitre d'hotel). As for the rest, you should be able to come up with something... any fact page can give you info about the different regions of France. Ma vision du bonheur means "my vision of happiness," if you put some effort in, you can come up with three sentences :-)

Answer 3

To save on with up the final answer: A drink of water may well be actually "une boisson d'eau" and not "de l'eau" when you consider which you're speaking some quantity of water, not an merchandise it is water like a lake. however the French would not use this literal expression yet say rather "Est-ce que je peux aller boire de l'eau?" (could i pass drink some (quantity of) water?) because of the fact the observe after "peux" starts off with a vowel, you're able to desire to pronounce the "liaison". The silent ending of "peux" without notice could desire to be reported because it grew to become into hundreds of years interior the previous, yet in uncomplicated terms in the previous vowels. In that way you pronounce Z's, S's and T's that are oftentimes silent in front of consonants. ess-kuh zhuh p(oe)Zall-ay bwahr duh low? And a pencil-sharpener is "un aiguise-crayon" (from "aigu" meaning sharp) and aiguiser is the verb.
