hello Crack1, I correct your sentences :
1.....qui parle francais
2.....parlant français
3...same
4....parlant français dans le train
5...de trouver quelqu'un qui parle français.
I would like to know why you say "on the train" and not "in".

1) Better is : ... qui parle le Français. On parle une langue, donc : on parle le français.
2) same : le français
3) same
4) better : dans le train. Sur le train = really on the train = on its roof
5) Un Français (capital f ...). Your sentence is not quite clear : parler quelqu'un would mean : to talk about someone. If you mean : to talk to = parler à quelqu'un. If you mean : who doesn't speak to someone : qui parle à personne.

je persiste dans ce que je disais, we say in France "je parle français" and not "je parle le français".

Stella
thank you very much for the answer!
The above has a small error.
In English it is incorrect to start a sentence with a simple letter.
The following is the correct one.
Thank you very much for the answer!
Another important point in English is that you should always write French; never french.
He speaks french. This is wrong.
He speaks French.
The reason is you must start with a capital letter when writing a proper noun.
He is studying physics. ( The subject 'physics' is not a proper noun in English.
He is studying German. ( The word 'German' is a proper noun.)
You know nouns are classified as pronouns, abstract nouns, proper nouns, etc in English.
You are not stella but you are Stella. Because your name is a proper noun.
It is fine to write 'stella' in this forum. This is not an official or rather a place where one should adhere to the grammar rules.
However, even here you should write 'German' not 'german.
You write 'Spanish' not 'spanish'.
Not Mr chirac but Mr Chirac.
Not Mrs carla bruni but Mrs Carla Bruni.
Not 'france' but 'France'.

despite all that, for quick forum posts we'll live with the occasional missing capital letter-- especially in quick english comments discussing the french language
