when do you use de or d' before a verb infinitive? It confuses me greatly!

[thefrenchguy3000]

You have to memorize the prepositions that correspond with the verbs they follow. There is little rhyme or reason. Your dictionary is your best friend when figuring them out. Or Yahoo Babel Fish Translator if you're online.

@thefrenchguy3000 Just thought I'd mention that Google Translate is much improved and it's helped me quite a bit these past few months. Much better than babel fish. Easy to use in cellphone too.

@pepperonipizza1993 you use 'D when it starts with a vowel aeiou and sometimes h and de with anything else.

Je pence qu'il est facil pour apprendre l'espangol que la français. <--is that the right way to say it?

In Spanish, every letter (except h) is pronounced.

There aren't any contractions using apostrophes.

Most nouns ends in -o for masculine and -a for feminine. Only a few are ambiguous.

Accents are hard to learn in Spanish...BUT, they only have one kind plus the tilde...not like à ë í ô ç.

Then the LL is always pronounced a Y.

I'm impressed that you find French easier.

"Je pense qu'il est plus facile d'apprendre l'espagnol que le français."

French is very intricate, but you do not have to know the intricacies right away to be able to speak it. Speaking it perfectly takes a long time. I'm still working on it, myself. Spanish, for me is a whole other ball game. It may be straight forward, but there are few tricks to making it easier. It's all or nothing.

I also live in Southern California so Spanish is more accessible for practice. And if there are French speakers, they're French-Canadian.

I try to watch DVDs in French audio...but boy, do they speak fast!

Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living?
