"Esti qutes cave sacrament decoliss de mon ask esti dmoumoune" = [juron] que tu es un(e) imbécile [juron] [juron] de mon ask [juron] de [juron].

Je pense que le reste est clair. Je ne sais pas comment traduire les jurons en français standard, donc je vais le traduire encore en anglais :
"Tes laite en tabarnak" = You're fucking ugly.

"Esti qutes cave sacrament decoliss de mon ask esti dmoumoune" = Fuck, you're stupid, fucking shit [not sure how to translate this part specifically], fucking fag.

A very loose translation, but it works well enough.

I know, but they don't accept everyone who qualifies, so I want to maximize my chances of getting in.

That's the plan, but I wanted to find out if anyone knew what I might do to maximize my chances. I've already got the money saved up for the trip.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: Do I need to speak French before joining the Foreign Legion?
A: No. Most candidates do not speak French. However, it will not be amiss to speak a little bit of French language.


I'd say do it.

Alright. Luckily my local community college offers full courses in French.

Would it make sense to try and learn a trade before I go, like carpentry? I think I'd be better off picking up a skill before I go, since they might be more interested in skilled labor rather than unskilled labor.

Also, sorry if all this is spam, I couldn't find anywhere else to ask.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. Check their career offerings, depending on what you want to do.

Any legionnaire can build a career not on school diplomas or professional or civilian qualifications, but by taking military or technical examinations throughout his service. If you have good potential, if you are motivated, hard working and serious, the following careers are possible.

Combat specialities:
sniper
tank driver
paratrooper
sapper
machine gunner
anti-tank rocket launcher
armoured vehicle driver
and other…

Administration:
secretary
accountant
data-processing support
computer support
and other…

Signals:
radio operator
radio mechanic
telephone exchange operator
and other…

Control:
light vehicle driver
truck driver
articulated truck driver
bus driver
dredge driver
and other…

Maintenance:
mechanic
electrician
welder
painter
small arms expert
and other…

Miscellaneous:
paramedic
data processing specialist
physical education instructor
graphic designer
musician
photographer
cook

J'ai seulement des bases malheureusement, j'ai un ami qui l'apprend mais moi je ne suis jamais allé plus loin que le vocabulaire basique... :/

Néanmoins, j'ai les tics de langage lyonnais (comme mettre des "y" partout) et un peu l'accent quand je m'énerve ou que je parle fort ( comme prononcer le "é" de certains mots comme cahier comme si c'était un "è").
