Re: Higher French Discussion Thread 2012Wow I didn't hear cope but I guessed it!(Original post by auberjean)
Bleeeeeeeeh I can't quite remember actually! I am pretty sure I heard debruiller which means to cope so I think she learned to cope on her own? And improved her confidence?
I said she has more confidence in herself now and can do things by herself 
EDIT: I really hope that they're not specifically asking for 'cope' though...

Re: Higher French Discussion Thread 2012Pretty sure they won't! Debruiller translates to a lot of things like getting accustomed to etc. Really thankful one word I tested religiously using Studyblue came up, haha! WEW I HAVE REGAINED HOPE IN THE WORLD!(Original post by Quick-use)

Re: Higher French Discussion Thread 2012I put that she gained more self confidence, and that she learned to manage by herself(Original post by Alice95)
what did you guys put for the last question about what she gained from the experience and what here last thoughts were?
I looked up debrouiller (or whatever) and it had all sorts of meanings such as to deal with/to cope/to manage so I'm hopeful they won't have an exact meaning
um for the last bit, I said she was happy to return to France to see her friends and family? I couldn't hear anything else so just guessed! -

I only learnt a description on a job last night, in the off chance it might come up, I quietly cheered inside when I saw the directed writing

Re: Higher French Discussion Thread 2012I thought the listening went well, considering. My school normally make us do it in a big echoey hall so it was a nice surprise to find out they put us in a room and even nicer when the CD player was sat right in front of me. I told my teacher I think I got at least 10 for the listening and she was overjoyed. Goes to show how difficult everyone finds it.
I said she has more confidence in herself now and can do things by herself
