Want to learn some French?

Why not try speaking a different language!

Let's start with numbers (nombres)
French numbers 0 to 19 are pretty easy - it's just a matter of memorisation.
0 zéro
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


Pronunciation note The consonants at the end of the French numbers cinq, six, huit, and dix are pronounced when at the end of a sentence or in front of a vowel.  However, they drop the final sound when followed by a word beginning with a consonant (such as cent, mille, million, mois, or livres).

Even if you're just going to France for a week, you should know some survival French - a few essential words and phrases that you'll use over and over.
- Je parle (un peu de) français=I speak (a little) French.
-Parlez-vous anglais ?=Do you speak English?

-Comment ?=What?
-Je ne comprends pas.=I don't understand.
-Que veut dire ___ ?=What does ___ mean?

oui yes
non no
si yes (in reponse to a negative question)
d'accord OK

et and
ou or
