Some useful phrases




Peter Sellers as the Pink Panther reminds us how helpful learning another language (especially with good pronunciation) is.  But don't panic.  Most French know English and they are charmed by any attempt to speak their cherished language.




Here is a link to a page with some helpful vocabulary and a nice male voice to assist you in its pronunciation.





(Be sure to revisit the "itinerary" post because from time to time I add more links to it.)

Parlez-vous français?

Do you speak French?  Maybe you don't, but would like to know enough to get by when in France.  I will help you with some useful phrases.  I personally haven't used any language programs, but a student of mine highly recommends the Pimsleur method.  It's audio/aural and oral communication-based. 

If that would help, check it out.
