Bonjour! 'Ow good is your English?

[Globalti]

Radio 4 says there are over 400,000 French people living in London. They interviewed some of them this morning, during which mention was made of a website for French people in the UK. I had a look and found this website with a nice little English test: http://www.ici-londres.com/fr/test-anglais

(Shock horror, I scored only 95%! Where did I go wrong?)

 

[Dayvo]

Hmmm, 90% = two wrong. Merde

Maybe it's down to regional/colloquial use of language.

 

[Spinney]

95% too - but it doesn't tell you where you went wrong.
I did spot one that I thought could have two possible answers.

 

[green1]

Yeah last but one I think it was.

 

[snorri]

85%, Maybe it's down to regional/colloquial use of language

 

[robjh]

95%. I wonder if it is programmed to never give 100%, as the next step is to encourage you to sign up for a course to improve your English. Curious that it doesn't tell you what the error was! In any case, a few questions towards the end would have permitted different answers without being definitely wrong, so it is not an entirely reliable test.

 

[vernon]

Parfait!

 

[ScotiaLass]

90%
That's utter rollocks. I is gud at the languages innit!

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

95%. Good enough that I could pass for an englishman.

 

[robjh]

Parfait!

Tu as eu 100%? Merde alors.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Quatre vingt cinq pour cent! Pourrait faire mieux.

 

[laurence]

quoi de neuf, docteur?

 

[Beebo]

I only got 85%, total rubbish. I'm going off in a flounce.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Damn, I got 95% too, and I was quite confident about my answers .

 

[asterix]

95% My digestion probably let me down, it's my weak point.. ..or is it link? I blame Ann(e) Robinson.

Mind you q 4 only had wrong answers. The correct answer is 'that'.
