GREETINGS You could use the expressions: Bonjour! (meaning literally « good day ») Salut! (the informal hello)
YOU FOUND SOMEONE SPECIAL TO SAY HI TO... You can add to your greetings different titles. Bonjour Monsieur (mister) Salut Madame (madam/ mrs) Bonjour Madameoiselle (mrs, but to someone not yet married)
SO, WEVE GOTTEN THROUGH SAYING HI... Their next question may be: Ça va? (how are you) Comment ça va? (how are you) Comment allez-vous? (how are you) Quoi de neuf? (whats new)
IN ORDER TO ANSWER, YOU NEED TO USE THE PHRASE Je vais.... Ça va Or just an expression that shows how you are doing. ______________________________________________ If you want to say how someone else is doing, use the expression « il va ______ » or « elle va ______ » (he is or she is)

FINDING OUT A PERSONS NAME How do you find a persons name in French? Use: Tu tappelles comment? (what is your name) Quel est ton nom? (what is your name, very literal) Quel est ton prénom préférée? (what is your prefered name, its mostly found on applications and official documents) Comment tappelles-tu? (what is your name) Comment vous appellez-vous? (what is your (respect) name)
SO, YOU MET A FRENCH PERSON. NOW WHAT IF YOU WANT TO MEET THEM FOR DINNER? We will go over dinner vocabulary a bit later, but for right now we must concentrate on being polite. Please in French is: Sil vous plait (formal) sil te plait (informal)
POLITENESS How do you say thank you in French? Merci + title (formal) Merci (informal) Youre welcome: Je vous en prie (formal) Je ten prie (informal).
