>>>Hello,
>>>
>>>Attached is a French dialog that I am trying to transcribe. I have got most of it but a few words and phrases. Below is my transcription. Please never mind the spelling errors and missing accent marks. I am learning French by sound (like a child who cannot read); so spelling is not important to me. I left the places where I cannot understand the conversation between brackets. TIA.

>>Long time since college French, but here goes.

>I am glad you understood the dialog. But I need to work on my English to be able to formulate my questions better since it was not understood :)
You just need to say that I'm transcribing a French conversation into French to test what I hear. I've attached the original, have I heard it correctly, in French....
