French Class 1

Today was our first day of French class at SKEMA. It is a bit of a bummer we have class every Saturday, 9am-12pm, but at least I can finally start to figure out what everyone has been saying around me the past month!

Here is some french I learned if any of you want to know some of the basics. :)

Some of the most interesting vocabulary of the day:

1. Tu= You informal (friends, children, family) ….. can say “et toi? “ (and you)

2. Vous= you formal (strangers, age difference, sign of respect) …. can say “et vous?” (and you)

3. à = on

   1. à lundi (monday)

   2. à ce soire( evening)

   3. à demain (tomorrow)

   4. à bientôt (soon)

4. bon soir= bye after 6pm

5. bon soiree= have a good night/ bonne journée = have a good day

6. Mme, madame, mesdames

7. M. monsieur (moosier), messier (mayssieur)

8. Ce n’est rien= its nothing/ its ok

9. Tout à l’heure= in a while

10. dit= says

Introduce yourself/ Be polite

1. Je m’appelle = my name is

2. Enchante = nice to meet you

3. Très heureux= please to meet you (formal)

4. Vous êtes= you are

5. Désole= sorry

6. Je vous présente = I present to you

7. est-ce que= do you…

8. Comment vous vous appelez= what is your name (formal)

9. Quel est votre nom? =What is you name (formal)

11. Quel est ton prénom? =What is your name (informal)

12. Je vous en prie= you’re welcome
