French - Do you speak French?


To ask if someone speaks French, you say parlez-vous français.
(google translate)

It sounds like pahlay voo fuansay.

To say yes, you would say Oui, sounds like wee.
Or no, which sounds just like the way you say it in English.

French - Please, You're welcome


Remember that to say thank you in French, you say merci.

To say please in French is s'il vous plait but it doesn't sound like it looks!
To say it right, it sounds like see voo play.

And to say you're welcome, you say de rien and it sounds like duh ree en.

French - Very good thanks


In French, if someone asks How are you? by saying Comment allez-vous
you can answer Very good, thanks. by saying Très bien, merci.

The way you say it, sounds like Tray bee-en, mare-see.

It's also polite to ask how they are, so you can add et vous? to the end of that sentence.
That sounds like Ay voo? (The vowel in Ay sounds like Hay)

So using all the words we've learned:
Bonjour, Au revoir, Monsieur, Madamoiselle, Comment allez-vous and très bien merci, et vous

We can have a conversation in French like this:
Girl: Bonjour Monsieur.
Boy: Bonjour Madameoiselle, comment allez-vous?
Girl: Très bien merci, et vous?
Boy: Très bien, merci.
Girl: Au revoir!
Boy: Au revoir!

French - How are you?


In French, to say How are you? you say Comment allez-vous?.

The way you say it is different than the way it looks though, it sounds more like como tah lay voo.

So the next time you see your Mom or Grandma, you could say:
Bonjour Madame, comment allez-vous?

And it sounds like:
Bohzhoor mahdahm, como tah lay voo?
