After finishing Pimsleur Basic French I know a bunch of useful phrases. But I am concerned that when I say any one of the phrases I know (in my perfect French accent <g>), I will be on the receiving end of a long sentence (either praising me or telling me to shut up). So I decided to learn the following phrase which I got by typing it in English in the on-line translator.
Does this phrase make sense and is it grammatically correct (before I memorize it):
"Je ne comprends pas vraiment de français. Je sais simplement quelques expressions."
"The creative process is nothing but a series of crises." Isaac Bashevis Singer
"My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all." Oscar Wilde
"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too." W.Somerset Maugham
