    Could somebody please translate the following phrase. I got result of my french oral and this was written on sheet : débit tres courant.

    I looked it up and it said something to do with flow ? could someone contextualise this for me ?? :D:D:D

    Are you sure it's not supposed to be début? If so, it's 'beginning very fluent' or something to that effect. I've never seen/heard the word débit before.

    If it is 'débit', it's good news, it means your flow of French is fluent, rather than hesitating or halting.
    If it is 'début', it means you were 'fluent' at the start...
    Keep it up, anyway!

    BTW, 'débit' is an important word to know, as in the expression "Internet haut débit' = Broadband Internet...
