puis on va prendre une taule a paris.
on va boire des bintchs, on va boire des squintchs, on va on va on va draguer des parisiennes.

?????? You ---- yourself badly, overall. (yeah, I know thats usually not the right trans of reflexive verbs, but i have no idea what demerdes means)
To me, the air (of a prostitute? Of fried potatoes with cheese?) is the most effective total immersion.

"Se démerder" originally means "to sort out a mess", basically. It has now taken a general use of meaning "being skilled". It's slang word however, and a more polite (but still familiar) word would be "se débrouiller".
As to "pas mal du tout", it comes from "pas mal", which is actually an understatement meaning "well" (or in the current case, "very well"). While the Orwellian newspeak has words such as "ungood", Franch basically has a word for "unbad"
Basically, I was saying he's performing admirably.
To me, the air (of a prostitute? Of fried potatoes with cheese?) is the most effective total immersion.
"putain" is a multi-faceted word in Frnch, and mastering it is one of the steps to mastering the language
Even though "putain" does mean prostitute, it also has several meanings that have nothing to do with the original. It can be an individual interjection, like the spanish "Caramba!" or the English "Bloody hell!".
But in the current case, it is more akin to the word "f*cking" or "bloody" that a slang-user would say to emphasize on what follows.
When I say it's "putain d'efficace", it basically means "f*cking efficient". It shouldn't be used too often, as it may sound awkward in many cases.
Then you have "avoir l'air". It means "seem".
Finally, "immersion totate" is the direct object of the verb. It shouldn't be located here in the sentence, but since my post was written in familiar language, it was all good. A formal sentence with the same content would be: "L'immersion totale me semble être très efficace"
What I wrote basically means " 'looks bloody efficient to me, that total immersion" [or however it is called in English, to live wholly among foreigners].

merde means, well merde. So demerder means to clean up. Or to straighten up. Or to be skilled. Thanks.
As to "pas mal du tout", it comes from "pas mal", which is actually an understatement meaning "well" (or in the current case, "very well"). While the Orwellian newspeak has words such as "ungood", Franch basically has a word for "unbad"
Informal English has the same thing - "not bad", usually meaning "pretty good". Somehow i overlooked that translation.

Ok.
Then you have "avoir l'air". It means "seem".
In english you can use this for a person ("he has the air of a winner") and even then its a slightly odd sounding usage.

This last I would have understood.

Total immersion it is. We even have "total immersion" programs now to teach elementary school students foreign languages.

LotM, pas mal de (quelque chose) can also mean "there are quite a few of (something)", or to express understated respect for something.
Even though I've heard this quite a bit, I'm having trouble thinking of a good example. Hopefully Spiffor can help out before the thread is recognised as a francophone thread and promptly shut down.
"pas mal du monde" means that there were quite a few people there.
I'll edit it if you do.
I haven't spoken French since Christmas, and haven't written it since I can't remember when. Those are the sorts of things that you get away with when speaking.
Mind you, "il y avait du monde" means that there were a lot of people there, so it is only because "pas mal de" already has de there?

As long as we continue to discuss translation issues, there are no grounds for shutting it down, I think.
