When you say ‘un café’ in French, it translates to ‘a bar’.

Much like the words in Spanish, the French language has intricacies to it such as the nouns which refer to the male and female gender.

Perhaps you cannot immediately understand an entire word uttered in the French language especially if you are just starting to learn a language.

Remember that when you are traveling to a country or a city where French is the main language, you would have to exchange pleasantries with the locals.

Let’s say that someone comes up to you and say “Comment allez-vous?”. The English translation for that is “How are you?’.

When traveling to France, a French speaking country or territory, you naturally would want to go souvenir shopping.

Perhaps the most popular basic French term, bonjour is pronounced bon-zhoor – and it literally means ‘Good morning’.

Let’s say that you would like to greet a French woman who you just met a good morning.

No matter which French-speaking country it is that you visit, you need to at least make an effort to learn the basics of the language.
