  1. ParlezFrançais! Français 1

  2. Greetings • Bonjour! • Hello! • Good morning! • Good day! • Bon soir! • Good evening! • Bonne nuit! • Good night!

  3. Titles • In French, it is common to address people by their titles. • Monsieur (M.)- Mister (Mr.) • Madame (Mme)- Misses (Mrs.) • Mademoiselle (Mlle)- Miss Bonjour, Monsieur! Bonjour, Madame!

  4. Greetings • Salut! • Hi! **Used for friends, family, and other people that you address informally.

  5. Gestures • When French people greet one another, they will either kiss each other on both cheeks or shake hands. • Kissing on the cheek is called “la bise”. (You’ll learn about “la bise” in the next section.) • A handshake in France is different than in the U.S. French people use a light grip, and pump only once- up and down. • These gestures are also used to say goodbye.

  6. What’s your name? • Comment t’appelles-tu? • What’s your name? • Je m’appelle… • My name is… There are other ways to ask this question, but they all have some form of “s’appeler” in them. Using Google Translate will likely lead you astray!

  7. Do NOT use Google Translate!! This is a literal translation, but this is NOT how French people speak.

  8. Pratiquez! • Take a minute to practice. Greet the person next to you and ask “Comment t’appelles-tu?” Comment t’appelles-tu? Je m’appelle Pierre.

  9. How are you? There are several ways to ask how someone is doing. • Comment vas-tu? • Comment çava? • Çava? All of these would be used to talk to friends, family, children, or people you know well.

  10. To Answer: • Çava… • bien- well • mal- badly • pas mal- not bad • comme ci, commeça- so-so • très- very Comment çava? Bien, merci!

  11. Pratiquez! • Take a minute to practice. Greet the person next to you and ask “Comment çava?” Comment çava? Pas mal.

  12. To Speak Formally • Comment allez-vous? • Je vaisbien. • Je vais mal. • Je vaiscommeci, commeça. (You can use these for “Comment vas-tu?” also.)

  13. How old are you? • Quelâge as-tu? • J’aiquinze ans. • J’aiquatorze ans. This is another example of French not being a translation of English. The literal translation of “Quelâge as-tu?” is “What age do you have?” “J’aiquinze ans.” translates to “I have 15 years.”

  14. Being Polite • S’ilteplaît. • Please. (talking to someone you know well) • S’ilvousplaît. • Please. (talking to someone you address formally) • Merci- Thank you. • Merci beaucoup- Thank you very much. • De rien.- You’re welcome. • Pas de quoi.- You’re welcome.

  15. Some Extra Phrases • aussi- also • avec- with • oui- yes • non- no • et- and • ou- or

  16. Remember: • If you believe that you can speak French, you will be able to speak French. • Be polite. • Practice pronunciation. • If you need help, ask!
