Today we will visit France as it is.

First to all, a few words and phrases in French :


France is located in Europe and in the Schengen area of the European Union.

Hello -> Bonjour -> Bjr

Hi -> Salut -> Slt

How are you? -> Comment vas tu ? ->

what's up? -> Quoi de neuf / ça va ?

Where the bakery is located? -> Où se trouve la boulangerie ?

(You may have noticed but we French, we add a space between the sentence and the punctuation, as you voice above.)


We will discover the landscapes, the banal daily life, the school system, the banal conversations.

We drive to the right.



The gastronomic specialties by department.

Older French people find it taboo to talk about money. Generally, in France, the issue of money is intimate.


French people usually dine between 7pm and 11pm.

Upon entering a store, say bonjour and make sure you say au revoir upon exiting. That’s good life advice anywhere!


Casual conversation :


SUPERMARKET :


A Frenchman at the checkout of a supermarket.

Customer -> Bonjour,

Cashier -> Bonjour,

(after running on the treadmill)

Cashier -> Avez vous la carte de fidélité ?

(later)

Cashier -> Voulez vous payez sans contact ?

(later....)

Cashier -> Voulez vous que je vous imprime votre ticket ?

Customer -> Oui silvouplait / non merci ça ira

Customer -> Bonne journée, Aurevoir

Cashier -> Merci à vous aussi, Aurevoir



AT THE BAKERY :


Baker : Bonjour, que voulez vous ?

Customer : Une baguette pas trop cuite.

Baker : Celle-ci ?

Customer : Oui

(later..)

Baker : Sans contact ?

Customer : Oui

(end)

Baker : Bonne journée,

Customer : bonne journée,


Well, I hope this mini guide made you learn a few things.
