YES! Thanks for the book (I've been looking for something like this!)

I found the answer to my question:

Jeter and Appeler (and verbs ending with -peler) are freaks, and use the double the consonant rule.


Acheter/mener/lever and suggerer/preferer/etc. follow the same basic rule (add or alter an accent before silent endings).

Next question:

What does, "c'est bien moi" mean?

(the use of bien is throwing me off.)

I seem to recall it being something such as "it's really me".... although don't take my word for it. It doesn't translate directly.

i thought it was something like "it's so me", or "it's very me". something along those lines.

Irregular verbs in French and Spanish make me sad. You've just learnt all the IR ER and RE ending verbs and you're feeling pretty smart...then they hit you with irregulars.

The thing that gets me is that in class you do a lot of written excercies, so if you get a spelling wrong or miss an accent you get marks off and feel like a dumbass. But when you're talking to someone they won't know if you can't spell! And learning to talk to people is the whole point really.
