N°2 The numbers

Ok, so now you can say Hi, and start a conversation with somebody.
But one of the most important thing in a language, is numbers.
Why ? Because they are everywhere, I mean, Restaurants, Hotels, all the different shops, bus schedule, railway station. Really, everywhere.

Because of their importance, I will start by teaching you the standard numbers.

Class N°2, The Numbers

1 - Un
2 - Deux
3 - Trois
4 - Quatre
5 - Cinq
6 - Six
7 - Sept
8 - Huit
9 - Neuf
10 - Dix
11 - Onze
12 - Douze
13 - Treize
14 - Quatorze
15 - Quinze
16 - Seize
17 - Dix sept
18 - Dix huit
19 - Dix neuf
20 - Vingt

And then it always follow the same pattern,
21 - Vingt et un
22 - Vingt deux
23 - Vingt trois
24 - Ving quatre
25 - Vingt Cinq
And so on.

Here we go, I think that with the greeting and the numbers perfectly known, you are now in good shape to start practicing a little bit.

As always, if you want some real teaching, you can buy one of the book in the links section.

Best Regards

N°1 The start, The Greetings

I was thinking about how I would start teaching people some useful words. And then it hit me.
What about Greetings ? They are the most common, and useful words in a new country.

If you don't know how to say "Hello", "Good Night" and all the traditional words, it will be much much harder to try speaking with somebody.

So here we go,
Class N°1, The Greetings.

Hello , Hi - Salut
Welcome - Bienvenue
Good day - Bonjour
Good evening - Bonsoir
Good night - Bonne nuit

Good bye, bye - Au revoir
See you soon - A bientôt
See you later - A toute à l'heure

Please - S'il vous plaît, s'il te plaît
Thank you - Merci
Your welcome - De rien
Excuse me - Excusez-moi, Pardonnez-moi, Excuse-moi, Pardonne-moi
Congratulations - Félicitations
Good Luck - Bonne chance

Sir - Monsieur
Madam - Madame
Miss - Mademoiselle

Welcome on the French Learning Blog

Dear friends,

It's been a while since I was thinking about creating my own blog to help people to learn a foreign language.
As this is a must have in this multi cultural world, I created my own blog to teach you guys the basic of french language.

A little bit about myself first,

My name is Jonathan Vourlot and I was born in Switzerland.
My main language is of course "French" and I also speak english (sorry if there is any mistakes in my english) and German.
I am a diplomed guy of LawSchool, I did all my study in "Lausanne" Switzerland.

With this blog, I also included the link to all the best books I managed to find over the internet to help you folks to learn French.
I tried every one that I linked on my site, so this is no Scam/Garbage/Cheap books that will teach you nothing...

Every day I will update the blog with some articles regarding the French language. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will maybe create a subject to answer you questions, or I will of course answer the comments.

The best way for you to improve your French, is to buy one of these "Online How To Learn French" book, study them. And then ask me all the questions you want.

Best Regards
