Bonjour à tous! Hello everyone! I’m sending a big welcome to all my new subscribers!

I’ve been a bit tardy in getting my recent Postcards from Paris Newsletters done, and I’ve found THE SOLUTION!

From today I’m going to be creating little videos – 3-4 minutes each, which will cover a few quick topics about my website and Paris, and I do hope you enjoy them – I’m VERY excited, as this means I’ll be able to get the Newsletters out to you much faster, and hopefully a couple of times a month – woohoo!

What’s in the videos?

Video 1 Using website Search Using Hotel Search	Video 2 Walking into a shop Greeting the storekeepers	Video 3 How to order a coffee in a café Follow the French translations

Video #03 – How to Order a Coffee in Paris

 

Now that I’ve shown you the different TYPES of coffee you can order in French, I thought I might give you some actual sentences to help you out :-)

English:	French Translation:
“Good morning, I’d like a coffee with milk please.”	“Bonjour, je voudrais un grand creme s’il vous plait.”
Waiter: “Anything else, madam?”	“C’est tout madame?”
“Do you have any croissants?”	“Vous avez des croissants?”
Waiter: “Yes we do. How many?”	“Oui, bien sur. Combien?”
“Two please. How much will that be?”	“Deux s’il vous plait. C’est combien?”
Waiter: “5 euros please.”	“Cinq euros, s’il vous plait.”
As you leave the café, don’t forget to say …	“Au revoir, Messieurs/Dames!”
