-Salutations. Ici ce sont des salutations.
Oui.
On va répéter.
We're going to go through and learn les vocabulaire.
Alors répétez "Bonjour",
"Salut".
"Bonjour" works for anyone,
"Salut" c'est vraiment juste pour informal.
"Bonsoir",
répétez "Au revoir",
"Ciao",
"À plus tard",
"À bientôt",
"À demain".
Très bien.
Reza et Sara, I'm going to put you two together.
Vous pouvez êtres les modèles pour tout le monde.
-Bonjour. -Bonjour.
-Comment allez-vous ? -Très bien et vous ?
-Très bien.
Je m'appelle Reza. Comment vous appelez-vous ?
-Je m'appelle Sara. -Enchanté Sara.
-Enchantée. Au revoir.
-Au revoir.
-You can have a longer conversation like that or you can simply just say,
"Hello" and "Good bye" ou "Au revoir".
Comment ça va ? Répétez "Comment ça va ?".
Aussi we could just say, "Ça va". Répétez "Ça va."
Très bien.
We have this little cédille.
That's the name of this little thing on the Ç, la cédille.
We give a S sound on the Ç.
If we don't have the cédille, we get a K sound usually for Cs.
This is all works very well,
"Comment ça va ?", "Comment allez-vous ?"
"Comment ça va?"
this is mainly for your friends if you say, "Ça va." If you say, "Comment allez-vous",
it's formal.
Alors répétez "Comment allez-vous ?"
Très bien.
We could say that that's either formal or what could be another circumstance for that?
If you're talking to multiple people, y'all, you're going to use "vous".
If you're talking to somebody formally you'll use "vous".
Bien. Alors répétez "Très bien", "Bien", "Ça va",
"Pas mal", "Mal".
That will be how you respond,
and then you will probably want to ask the question back, right?
"How are you?" and "And you?".
Vous allez dire : "Et toi ?" Répétez "Et toi ?".
"Et vous ?". Très bien.
So we see this "Ça va" is versatile.
It could be la question ou la réponse. We could say, "Ça va?"
"Oui, ça va. Et toi ça va ?"
"Oui. Ça va."
We can use it to ask the question and to answer the question.
Parlez-vous Français ? Oui.
Répétez "Parlez-vous Français ?".
Or maybe you're travelling and you have a question that you need to ask in English,
"Parlez-vous Anglais ?"
Vous pouvez dire : "Oui". Répétez "Oui",
"Un peu",
Ou "Oui. Je parle français."
"Je parle anglais."
Or you can say, "Je ne parle pas."
Excellent.
Usually, if somebody says, "Parlez-vous français ?" and you say, "Non. Je ne parle pas français."
They're going to know that you just said that you didn't speak French in French,
alors vous parlez français.
They're going to say to you, "Vous parlez très bien."
Oui. It's kind of on the safer side, probably in any language.
Just say that you don't speak it,
or that you don't speak it very well,
and then people will be really impressed when you do speak it well.
"Je ne parle pas très bien." and then people will be really impressed when you do speak it well.
"Je ne parle pas très bien."
