French Greetings: Salut. Comment Ca Va? Ca va. Quoi de neuf? Pas grand chose. Click on the lesson links below to listen to the French Podcast lessons!
French Lesson #1 is about greetings in French. You will learn some new expressions and how to pronounce them. Remember to purse your lips to say u. Get ready to pronounce it as if you are going to make a circle. You will find out how every French object or noun is either masculine or feminine.
In this first lesson, you will learn to place an order at a French Cafe or a restaurant. Politeness or La Politesse is encouraged with S'il vous plait. Positive attitude and goodwill are also encouraged with words such as Volontiers, avec plaisir etc. A garcon (there is a sign under the c which makes it pronounce like "s." In French, it's a cedille) is a boy. But it is how you refer to a waiter at a cafe. You will learn about words and expressions such as Voila, N'est-ce pas, De rien, Au revoir, and a bientot etc. Now, you may wonder why French people kiss each other on the cheek. They kiss their best friends, not strangers.
We kiss our friends, male or female on the cheeck when we run into them on the streets, and at the market. We kiss them twice on each cheek, left, right, left, right. Now if you don't know somebody or if you meet somebody for the first time, you shake hands with that person. That's it.
