Surefire French

Learning French before traveling to Paris can be a rewarding, not to mention useful enterprise.

A little time devoted to learning a few basic phrases can go a long way in helping you enjoy your vacation even more. As tempted as you may be, try not to let your first words be "Do you speak English?".
Start your conversation in French. The French will appreciate your efforts and show a willingness to help you. They will also know right away that French is not your first language.
Smile. Be polite. You will win them over by your efforts.

The beauty of the Free 6 Day French Course is it's audio function. You can listen to many of the basic words and phrases in French by a native French speaker and repeat them over and over until you are satisfied. Try it. It costs nothing and is a great little tool.

Here are a few key words and phrases.
