    is there someone willing to quickly read through my dumb ~200 word written paragraph about "the trip of my dreams"
    i have to hand it in tomorrow and was supposed to have someone else proofread it as well

    if someone sees this and does it, you'd have to send the corrections to me before 6:00-6:30am central time, so i have enough time to correct on the paper copy

    Thanks!

    I changed some word endings for gender & plurals and otherwise didn't touch it except that one sentence in the middle which I'm a little lairy of...well anyway.
    I've got to head to an exam but hopefully that's enough for your second opinion!

    It's "En Norvège", not "Dans Norvège", there's probably some other stuff but my sentence structures are incredibly awkward, so, if I rewrote them, I'd make them worse.

    Oh cool, I didn't want to change that in case it was a rule exception that I cba to look up :B

    @Imoyram it's the sentence that I finished with "(??maybe)"

    Edit: it was "Il a des caractéristiques géographiques magnifiques, tout en gardant le même climat que je suis habitué à (dans certaine places)." -> "Il a des caractéristiques géographiques magnifiques, tout en gardant le même climat dont je suis habituée"

    Edit 2: btw I mean I'm a bit lairy of my change, not of your sentence! In case that wasn't clear.

    I remember visiting a French-Canadian friend a long while back (c. 1994-5?) and apparently there are Quebecois comedians who's entire thing is going to France or phoning French companies and speaking Quebec-variety French at them and making fun of the blank looks and confusion.

    I would like to have a clip from the Tom and Jerry cartoon "Touche, Pussy Cat!" starting at this point and up to 1:00, maybe as a Vine, so I can caption it "me when I discovered one of my co-workers is a French speaker".
