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
-
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.
-
Be careful. If you have limited language skills, you may be overwhelmed with the answer to a question such as asking for directions.
-
I appreciate the phonetic pronunciations in parentheses! Thank you.
-
As an Australian travelling to France in the not to distant future (about 6 months) this video has been invaluable.

This was extremely helpful, merci!

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!
-
This has been very helpful. Thanks!
