Learn French by speaking
French is full of things you only notice when you speak: silent letters, liaison that links words like vous avez, and gendered nouns that change the words around them. Saying it out loud, again and again, is how it starts to flow.
Say it out loud
Your first phrases
Six polite essentials for your first French conversation. Several use the formal vous, which is the safe choice with someone new.
Bonjour
Meaning: Hello / Good day
Comment allez-vous ?
Meaning: How are you? (formal)
Je m’appelle …
Meaning: My name is …
S’il vous plaît
Meaning: Please (formal)
Merci beaucoup
Meaning: Thank you very much
Au revoir
Meaning: Goodbye
