Bonjour! My son is there in Paris for 3 months as a foreign exchange student for college! Miss him so!! He's already taken a very lengthy French class, which may have already taught him the contents of this video, but I will send it to him regardless. Thank you for putting this very helpful, useful video together! Love your videos. Bonne journee
Hello, to complete I would say that each time you ask for something, say "s'il vous plait" which means "please" ("S'il vous plait ou sont les toilettes?" Please where is the bathroom?). And you can also add to "bonne journée/bonne soirée" the expression "good luck" to someone who works (a waiter, a salesperson, a cashier, etc.) when you leave which proves to him that you recognize his usefulness and his work. You have to understand that in France we are very attached to these small forms of politeness and that is why we often have the reputation of being impolite because we will not answer or roughly if the foreign tourist does not use these expressions. So don't forget to say hello to anyone you interact with, however briefly. The use of polite words will make the average French person answer you mostly with a smile and try to help you willingly.. And good job for explaining how to communicate with grumpy french people (ha ha ha).
Great tips. It’s also helpful to learn directions, right, left, straight ahead, etc. And don’t be afraid to say a few French words. Give it a try. On my first visit to Paris, I had a very strong southern dialect from North Carolina, USA. I know my French pronunciation was amusingly bad, but everyone was nice and we managed to understand each other.
I know this is a little older, but thanks for the tips on language. I took a screen shot and saved it for quick reference. We’ll be in Paris in 2 weeks. Looking like it’s going to be raining most of the time.
Visitors will feel less lost in France if they can identify basic street and retail names/signs, and travel directions. I've been learning online French for just six months. The language is beautiful and intriguing, and I wholly love it.

My brother has been to Paris a few times and he recommends the breakfast place called ‘Breakfast in America’ where you can get drip coffee.
Oh my god.. it looks super super run down.. i would say definitely to avoid… lol…

Oui oui.. Baguette tradition tous les jours!!
Plan to visit Paris in early October.
Congratulations on mastering the French R. Most North American English speakers have trouble with it.
Great content thanks for sharing!

Yes ! I was immediately drawn to it as well when I first started learning ! Good tips ☺️
I need normal speaking terms here like “f off”, “get out my face”, “shut up”… mdr.
