Common French Phrases Travelers Should Know<\/span><\/h2>\n

These basic French words and sayings are essential for traveling through a French-speaking country<\/a>. From saying hello to asking for someone\u2019s name, every French beginner should start by mastering these phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Je vais chez moi.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A common saying for expressing I go home<\/em> or I\u2019m going to my house.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Vous\u00a0\u00eates bon.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When meeting up with a friend or peer, saying this phrase is a nice way to say you are well<\/em> or you seem like you\u2019re doing well.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Je viens des \u00c9tats-Unis<\/span><\/em> \/ <\/span>Je suis des \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How you say I am from the United States<\/em> when someone asks you where you\u2019re from. If you’re from a different country, simply swap out \u00c9tats-Unis<\/em> with the French translation of the country you\u2019re from.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tout le monde le dit.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re discussing current events, news, or even a rumor, this phrase means everyone\u2019s saying it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Je dois faire quelque chose.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you need to leave an engagement or event, and someone asks you where you\u2019re going, here\u2019s how to say I have to do something.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Je vais prendre de l\u2019eau<\/em> \/ Je prendrais de l\u2019eau.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When ordering at a restaurant or shopping in the city, je predrais is a casual, yet polite way to ask for what you want. This translates to I will take some water<\/em> \/ I\u2019ll take some water<\/em>. Likewise, je vais prendre du caf\u00e9<\/em> \/\u00a0du caf\u00e9<\/em> au lait<\/em> means I will take some coffee<\/em> or I will take some coffee with milk<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le menu, s\u2019il vous pla\u00eet.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Some restaurants will hand you the menu as soon as you sit down. When they don\u2019t, this is how you ask the server:\u00a0can I please have the menu?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, this is how you ask the server for the check. It translates to: the check, please!\u00a0<\/em>French meals tend to move more slowly than elsewhere in the world, so they likely won’t be in a rush to give you the check.<\/span><\/p>\n

Je ne peux pas manger…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you or someone in your party has a food allergy or restriction, this is an essential phrase to know. It means, I can’t eat…<\/em> Below are some common allergens that you can put after the word manger<\/em> to explain what you can\u2019t eat.<\/span><\/p>\n
