Learning a bit of French for Travel Makes Travelling so Much More Fun


I have travelled round the world quite a bit. I lived overseas as a child, I worked overseas as a nurse and now I live overseas with my family and we will continue to do so for a few years yet.

One really important thing that I have learnt is that Learning a bit of French for Travel Makes Travelling so Much More Fun

This is not only polite but shows that you are willing to experience and integrate into the lifestyle and culture.

I am amazed how many times the simple phrases (in the local language)
"Hello, how are you?"
"Thank you very much"
have got me out of difficulty.




Simple French travel phrases that go a long way!

red arrow Hello Sir/Madam
Bonjour Monsieur/Madame. (Bon-jur messure/madam) )

red arrow Thank-you very much Sir/Madam
Merci beaucoup Monsieur/Madame. (Mercy bow-coo messure/madam)

red arrow You are very kind Sir/Madam
Vous êtes très gentil Monsieur/Madame. (Vooz ett tray jonti messure/madam)
