Hello! You are taking your first steps in French and I am delighted to accompany you on this journey. Here are some suggestions for organizing your personal work.

In this page, you will find “ready-to-speak” content – content to use right away. The elements are written and offered orally. As you may know, it can sometimes be difficult to connect the spelling of words and their pronunciation – it’s part of the joys of learning French! 😱

That’s why I recommend that you pay close attention to the audio elements and rely mainly on your ear.

• Step 1 – Greet

Discover and practice: https://www.languageguide.org/french/greetings/

Test yourself by checking “Listening Quiz” on the same page (see top right of the screen).

Practice by following the French custom of greeting in small shops – a good workout! Target the small shops in the city center of Montpellier, for example those on rue de l’Argenterie:

• When entering: “Bonjour” or “Bonsoir” (when it is dark → night)
• When leaving: “Au revoir” then “Bonne journée / bonne soirée” (when it is dark → night)
