Homework Help: French

Posted by Larry on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 2:25am.

Can someone please proofread my paragraph?

Je m'appelle Larry. J'ai quatorze ans et j’habite à Vernon, BC au Canada. *Là* où je habite, au printemps il fait beau et en été il fait chaud. Mais à l'automne il fait plus frais et en hiver il fait froid.
À propos de moi, je suis grand et intelligent mais je suis timide.
J'aime utiliser mon ordinateur, écouter de la musique et me détendre. J'aime manger de la pizza mais je n'aime pas les bananes. Finalement, j'aime jouer au basketball et au football juste pour le plaisir. Et toi? Dis-moi de vous.

-Au revoir

NOte: I don't get this part (*Là* où je habite,) It's Henri's correction from my previous post. How would you say, "where I live, au printemps...."

If there are any errors please correct me.

Merci Beaucoup!!

j’habite à Vernon, = j'habite Vernon...

*Là* où je habite = Là, où j'habite,

(in the spring = au printemps

Mais à l'automne = Mais en automne...

The very last word "de vous" about all of you...

What does, Là, où j'habite mean?

Last sentence, Dis-mois de vous.
What I'm trying to say here is, Tell me about yourself or tell me all about you. (if it even makes any sense)

Merci

There, where I live

If you want to say "Tell me about yourself" and you mean ONLY that person = Dis-moi de toi. BUT if you want to know about that person plus everyone else in the family = Dis-moi de vous. Grammatically there was nothing wrong with what you wrote; I just didn't know if you wanted to learn JUST about the person to whom you were writing or his/her entire family.
