Top 10 French travel phrases you NEED to know & How to Use Them! [Step-by-Step Tutorial]
1. Bonjour! (formal) / Salut! (informal) - This simple means. ‘Hello’.
2. Au revoir - this means goodbye, literally it means ‘to the seeing again.
3. Merci - This means ‘thank you’. You can also add the word ‘beaucoup’. So, ‘merci beaucoup’ means, thank you very much.
4. Oui / No - These mean ‘yes’ and ‘no’ respectively.’
5. Excusez-moi / Pardon - both of which mean ‘excuse me’. The difference between Pardon and Excusez-moi is that Pardon implies you’re just asking forgiveness, while Excusez-moi often (but not always) comes with the idea of needing to get someone’s attention.
6. Combien ça coûte? - which means ‘how much does it cost’? The most common reply to this is ça coûte….. Meaning “it costs…”
7. Comment je peux aller à......? - which means ‘how do I get to...’? - This means ‘how do you get to...’? - Use a map to point where you want to go or try and say the name of the place with the French pronunciation. For example, the Eiffel Tower is, la tour Eiffel
8. Où se trouvent les toilettes? - which means ‘where are the toilets?’
9. J'aimerais... - which means ‘I would like…
10. Tchin-tchin! or Santé! ... - both of which means ‘cheers’. Santé literally means ‘health’ while Tchin-tchin! is a linguistic relic of the British Empire which comes from 18th century Chinese ''ch'ing- ch'ing'' meaning ''please-please''.

I'm going to travel to France in a month and I'm terriefied lol thanks for the video
Best video I've listened & watched so far. Thank you
One of the clearest videos to learn French phrases I must say! Thank you/ Merci Beaucoup
This was extremely helpful, merci!
Thank you so much! Will be sharing with my family for when we go! I only learned spanish in school so I was excited to learn some new phrases with phoenetics so this was great!
Thank you for the video!
This has been very helpful. Thanks!
I appreciate the phonetic pronunciations in parentheses! Thank you.
I plan on visiting France next summer, so I am getting a head start on learning the French language. This is a great video to start!
I'll be travelling to France next month and this video is so helpful! Merci beaucoup!
Lovely 🇫🇷
Tysm! It's helping me a lot as my parents don't know Franch and we are going to France
I'm traveling to Paris in 3 weeks and trying to learn some quick phrases until then, thanks for the video!
Merci beaucoup!😃🥰
Very helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome 😀
As an Australian travelling to France in the not to distant future (about 6 months) this video has been invaluable.
Loved it!
If I open with a French phrase or question to a Frenchman I get a french answer which I don't understand! awkward. The pleasantries like bonjour, merci, s'il vous plaît are useful but beyond that as a tourist with no French language skills I will always have to ask if they speak English right off the bat.
Same here and the same thing happened to us in Germany we would just say hello or excuse me followed by a do you speak English? I'm making my new year's resolution to speak another language.
Lmao I’m having that same experience at the moment. The pleasantries do help not be rude though.
Right. It's funny that guide books will tell you how to say all the important things completely ignoring the fact that you'll also have to understand the response.
I learned some Spanish and Portuguese for trips and when I used phrases in those languages as a nurse w/patients that is exactly what happened. They’d start speaking rapidly in their language.
I didn’t have this problem. The key is to butcher the pronunciation so poorly that they immediately know you don’t speak French.
I learned more French in this short video than I ever learned from the silly language learning apps!! Thank you
I’m so happy to have been able to help 😊 it’s my pleasure ❤️
I actually learned a LOT of french from duolingo
THANKS!
These are some very important phrases Thanks for sharing and I subscribed
I’m so happy to hear that you found it useful 🤩
Very useful! Thanks ☺️
I’m so glad 🙂🤩👏
Merci Beacoup Madame!
10:10 There's a good chance my family and I will travel to France next summer! Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo~
De rein 😀
I subscribe you channel right away because you mention Où se trouvent les toilettes?

American preparing for a trip to Quebec! Thank you for getting me started.
My pleasure! Have a wonderful trip 😀
We will be in Paris for 6 nights, then on a tour of France for 2 weeks. So, I would like to know some basics. The first half of this video was easy and stuff I already knew, but then I was lost with the longer phrases in the 2nd half. Guess I'll have to watch this a bunch more times. Anyway, impressive job on the video and a well deserved thumbs up!
How exciting about your trip! 2 weeks is a great amount of time because my course Intrepid French will get you up to speed with all the travel French you’ll need. You can check it out here bit.ly/IntrepidFrenchCourse you have lifetime access to all lessons and support from me and our private Facebook community. Bon voyage!
Wow! You didn't only teach me the most important phrases in French, but also taught me how to travel and get around France! This video really prepares you to travel in every aspect! Merci Beaucoup, Madame
I’m so glad it helped you 🤩🇫🇷Bon voyage!
i live in canada so it realy helped merci
lovely vlog ❤
Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for this video. I was feeling nervious about going to Paris next week.
The silly language apps just teach you how to say "The apple is red".....
Gorgeous footage - love the French x
Thank you so much Michelle :)
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Thomas Damian Instablaster =)
@Casey Aydin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Merci!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it😀
Merci beacoup Madame!
De rien, ça me fait plaisir :)
I'm an proud language learner. French is the language
Be careful. If you have limited language skills, you may be overwhelmed with the answer to a question such as asking for directions.
Thanks ..nice video
Thank you 😊 I’m so glad 😀
Excellent video! Short and to the point. Thank you. My wife and I have been to France many times and are thinking about retiring there. My biggest challenge with speaking my very limited French is not those basic words to say, but rather understanding the answers! What I usually find that works is to say, something like "Parle lentement, s'l vous plait." And if I've said that correctly the person will usually happily slow down their speaking.
Thank you! My pleasure 🙏So glad you enjoyed it.
cool!
I went to Paris about 5 years ago, with a fluent French speaker, so I never had to learn or even try to speak the language….and after the first word I said in English, i felt like everyone hated me!
Now taking my mom there for my 40th bd…and I feel a bit anxious for not knowing the language at all. So thank you for this very useful video! 💕
Wish I knew this for my trip to France last month 😬😬 uploaded a vlog about it, have you ever been to that region?
There's always next time! Plus, you can speak French in 28 other countries too! :)
beautiful
Merci :)
Hello. How is your French course different or similar to Babbel or some of the other language apps?
We used a gesture of washing our hands to find a TOILET, hitching thru France in the 1960s. Sometimes, with comical results: the toilet and sink are sometimes in 2 separate spaces
Did you facepalm when you learned toilettes is the same word in french ?
Mimiyuuuh, on l'adore tous en france.😅
best video ever
Thanks so much Thom. Why did you like about it? (So I can do more of it!)
I'm heading to France next week so I'm doing a last minute bit of prep for need to know phrases. I'm a little confused because other sources have told me Je voudrais in place of J'aimerais, is there a difference or are they just different ways of saying the same thing? Great video, thanks for the helpful phrases!
Hello, French speaker here looking for videos for my spouse to watch. J'aimerais means I would like and Je voudrais means I would want. In the context or ordering something they mean the same thing!
I think the most useful phrase is >.

Excuse me. I am english. I don't speak French well
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How many languages do u know/speak?
Dear Michelle.. Thank you so much for the video.. 🙏 I find difficulties in saying every "rrr" part , as in "merci" and "au revoir". I wonder if natives will understand or not about what I'm saying with my badddd pronounciation 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
My absolute pleasure. Just try your best and they will appreciate your effort. ❤️😊
Yes. Upcoming trip. Totally not here now.
I hope you have a fantastic trip 😊
@The Intrepid Guide This is a very lovely country. Shame I can't explore more of the country
Is there a charge fir your French class?
Yes, you can find all the details here bit.ly/IntrepidFrenchCourse
New Caledonia
Fact that you allready gave yourself the first like is such a French thing to do 😂
Haha that wasn’t me. Did you do it?
@@theintrepidguide nah I tend to be as Dutch as they come, giving something a thumbs up without seeing it doesnt compute with my brain😂
Guess your secret admirer mystery lingers on.. 😉
I can’t say these 😅
She seems like a nice person, but her French would earn a grade at a c+ level. You should look for a French for travel course at a local college or at a local branch of the International French organization - Alliance Française.
En français il faut dire NON plutôt que no.
Jesus loves you!
Just be careful with Chin-Chin… in Japanese its VERY rude! Just a heads up if you do get friends with Japanese people in a French speaking country…
