Help I need Language!

Help! I Can't Language Good!

Do you need some help with another language?
Do you know how to read / write a language that isn't modern English, and want to help your fellow anon?
If so, this is the place for you.

How this works:
  • You don't need to be anon when you are offering language aid.
     
  • When offering language aid, post a comment saying what language you will helping out with
    • Put the language you want to help out in in the subject line
       
  • Only one language per thread please. "I can help out with French and Vietnamese," for example is wrong. French and Vietnamese should go into two separate comments.
     
  • If you are requesting spelling, semantic or grammar aid in another language you must remain Anonymous.
     
  • You may post a comment requesting language aid, providing you do it in anon mode and there isn't already a thread going on for that language.
     
  • If there is already an aid thread for your desired language going, don't start a new comment asking for help unless you posted to that existing thread, and haven't received a response in 7 days
     
  • Please stick to the topic at hand (language aide). This isn't the place for chit chat.
     
  • If you have had experience with a particularly good online language resource that actually works than feel free to link it here as a reply to the first comment.
    • In the subject line, state what language it is and try to describe what the resource does.
    • Links to resources go in the comment area.
     
  • No pimped out fonts or embedded videos are allowed. They will be deleted.
     
  • Just a note. If you do have phrases in other languages in your fills, it's only polite to include a translation in English at the bottom of your fill somewhere.

Sigh, Francis keeps speaking French and I don't

How would you say this in French: 'Very inconsiderate of him, no?'

Referring to *cough* England getting drunk off his arse and leaving it up to France to drag him home ^^ Thanks!

I would spontaneously say

"Un vrai manque d'égard de sa part, n'est-ce pas?"
or "Très sans-gêne de sa part, n'est-ce pas?"

But i need to know if France is talking with someone else or just talking to himself... (the "no" confuses me a bit, you wouldn't really say "blabla, no?" in this context)

He's talking to Canada, and I guess the 'no?' could be replaced with 'don't you think?' or something similar, it's just a small something to prompt a reply.

Sorry if I'm confusing, English is not my first language so I might be just messing things up =.=

ooh ok, no prob no prob

mmh I think it would sound better to say

"Quel manque d'égard de sa part, tu ne trouves pas?"

or

"C'est d'un sans-gêne de sa part, n'est-ce pas?"
