Whenever you're traveling to a foreign
country, it's always great
to know your manners or some polite phrases!
I noticed that in France, the French people appreciate you trying to say something in French. A lot of them will say "just try" - it's a matter of French pride for them!
So, I posted a list of some great phrases to learn /refresh your memory
down below!

There is also a great book on "survival French"
called "French in 10 minutes a day" that also comes with a CD! I bought it for my local French class
I took in the winter of 2014, for about $20.00
on Amazon.com. Just press on the link belwo if you'd like to order it.
I took it through the local
adult education
classes that are offered in
most towns
across the USA! It was only
about $48.00 for an
8 week
class that met once
a week for 2 hours
a night!
