Euro 2014 - English (Anglais), French (Français), Franglais

I've really enjoyed dusting off the old French and getting a chance to make use of those ancient language skills.  However, such things don't come back very easily.  However, I can report that my Franglais, the bastard child that freely combines English and French is coming along great! 

For those of you who are not conversant with Franglais here are some examples of de-I's upcoming French/English/Franglais dictionary.


English
                        I’m going to town
French
                        Je vais en ville
Franglais
                        I’m going en ville

English
                        How’s it going
French
                        Comment ça va?
Franglais
                        How va’s it?

English
                        I need to give way (in this intersection)
French
                        Il faut ceder le passage
Franglais
                        I have to cedez le passage

English
                        Let’s go up there
French
                        Marcheons la bas
Franglais
                        Let’s marcheons there

English
                        I have to pay this with a credit card
French
                        Il faut payer avec une carte banquaire
Franglais
                        I have to payer with a carte

English
                        That’s expensive!
French
                        C’est cher!
Franglais
                        That’s cher!

English
                        I’m so sorry
French
                        Je suis désolé
Franglais
                        I’m so désoléd

With a bit of practice you too can master Franglais!
