Does this conversation in French make sense?

Asked by Aesthetic_Mess (7894points) November 9th, 2010

*Sarah: Salut Gabriella! Quel temps fait-il?
Me: Salut Sarah! Il fait nuageux et frais.
Sarah: Il fait du vent aussi.
Me: Oui. Quelle est la tempèrature?
Sarah: Il fait 57 degrès. Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire en automne?
Me: J’aime se promener en automne. Et toi?
Sarah: J’aime faire du vélo et patiner en automne.
Me: Je vais se promener aujourd’hui.
Sarah: Je vais passer du temps dehors. Je vais faire du skate.
Me: Est-ce que tu faire du velo demain?
Sarah: Non. Je vais faire du velo le dimanche. Est-ce que tu faire du skate demain?*

Do the conjugations and phrases make sense? It’s supposed to be about the weather and what we are going to do because of it.

It was perfectly clear to me and sounded right. The only word I didn’t know was “velo.” I am not an expert on French grammar by any means, but I have a fairly good understanding of conversational French. I do think the future tense might be wrong; you might want to check on that.

“Velo” is common parlance for bike.

“Faire du velo” means to go for a bike ride.

“Il fait nuageux” is incorrect but common.

And check out “patiner.”

Hi, my first foreign langage is French, so here is what sounds nice to me :

Sarah: Salut Gabriella! Quel temps fait-il?
Me: Salut Sarah! c’est nuageux et frais.
Sarah: Il y a du vent aussi.
Me: Oui. Quelle est la température?
(Just wanna say that 57 degrès is super hot for Autumn/Fall, you should replace it with 35 for example )
Sarah: Il fait 57 degrès. Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire “en automne ”

(You are repeating “en automne” a lot , so it gives a negative point to the conversation, remove it like that )
Me: J’aime se promener . Et toi?
Sarah: J’aime faire du vélo et patiner.
Me: J’irais me promener aujourd’hui.
Sarah: Moi aussi, je veux passer un peu de temps dehors. Je crois que je vais faire du skate.

The last too sentences you wrote are just repeated, they don’t give a good sense to the conversation, you could end it by another thing like)

Me: Très bien ! alors on se voit après, amuses toi bien.
Sarah: Merci, toi aussi.

****That was my version, I hope you like it, contact me for further informations****

French is my first language, the previous version is pretty good except for

Me: J’aime me promener . Et toi?
Sarah: J’aime faire du vélo et patiner.
Me: J’ irai me promener aujourd’hui. (future simple not present conditional)

French was actually my fourth language! Sine I live in America I have to know English. Im albanian so I need to learn albanian.So then in middle school i took spanish. But know Im
taking French. Im not the best so dont take my opinion so seriously.
I think its preety good. But I would just change Me:J’aime me promener. et toi? and
Me; J’irai me promener auhourd’ hui.

@LuvToRite: I always feel a little disheartened when I learn about the linguistic skills of my fellow flutherers.

Albanian,Spanish, French, English? Wow. And I see that you are still a teen-ager. Amazing.

(Remember to be consistent. Capitalize countries and languages. English, Albanian, Spanish, France, French, etc.)
