Hey Cee Cee, my apologies if I confused you...the phase 'en outre' is contextual...
(please remember I am far from an expert!!)...literally (I think) it means 'in addition'
but it can mean 'in fact' which is generally 'en fait' in French, in this case I meant
'as well' which could also be 'aussi' in french but I've been told that it is more
sophisticated to use en outre...so....in response to Bele's comment 'You live in a big
city...' I simply responded '...yeah, itslovely/really nice(!!)as well.' Therest ofyour
translation is spot on...Ithen asked Bele 'have you been to Lyon before?' who then
as you said,replied'...not yetbut hewould like to one day.'
Personally I've never tried Spanish at all, I can't roll my r's(!) and it's tough enough in
French with all that throat scratching! I'm currently learning German in France right
now which isn't bizzare as itsounds...it's actually helping me with my French as I'm
being taken back to the grass roots of learning a language which you kinda forget as
you go along...
Anyhoo...hope I've explained myself a little better....take care... niceone.gif
