I think my guess was tres bon, although we didn't do names when I did my French o-level. Jeanne = Joan, Jean, Jane http://french.about*com/library/travel/bl-fr-names-f.htm all I did was google! nell |

You know what Merry (boy am I shocked about your failure!!) I dont think there is a french for Jane - except peut etre Janelle.? Jeanne is usually for Joan - as it St Jeanne d'Arc. Tu savai? |

O.K. here goes....................... Jane ( Janet, Jenny, Joan etc) is the female form of John ( Ian, Ewan, Iain, Sean etc) The french for John is Jean. So, in conclusion......................... Jeanne is the french for Jane. Janet (41 ¾) with a C.S.E. grade 4 in French but more French rellies than you can shake a stick at! |

Merry, you are not alone. I was stopped from taking French too. That was mainly down to a poor teacher. Our year was split up into two groups (baby boomers) and the other French teacher did EVERYTHING in French, spoken written and read. They all got on so well with it. OUR French teacher had us doing projects on France and all things French in ....ENGLISH!!! The she wondered why her class failed at the language. DUH!! T x |

I made history in my ancient and venerable school by achieving 2% in Chemistry O level. I got the 2% for writing my name correctly at the top of the page. Olde Crone |

Well, I spose I better tell you, they didnt even put me in for maths - I think I got 30 odd percent in the mock and they said it would be a waste of time and money. |
