When visiting Paris consider that French people love their language and their culture. Most of them don't speak English or they just prefer to speak French in their country. In the street, I tried to ask for directions from a French woman. So I asked her in French if she spoke English. She looked at me with a bad face and said: NO! From that moment I tried to learn some phrases in French. The most useful are:

  1. Hello is Bonjour.
    The pronunciation is bohn zhoor.
  2. Do you speak English? is Parlez-vous anglais?
    The pronunciation is par-leh voo ahn-gleh.
  3. Where is the restaurant? Ou se trouve le restaurant?
    The pronunciation is oo se-trhoov l ghestoran.
  4. Do you have rooms available? is Avez-vous des chambres disponibles?
    The pronunciation is av-eh voo deh shahm-br deespon-ee-bl.
  5. I would like is Je voudre.
