Paris with Two Years High School French




I am heading to Paris next month with only two years of high school French backing me up. Plus, high school was thirty (30) years ago! Mr. Bell did his best, but I'm sure I was not as attentive as I could have been as we conjugated French verbs at Georgiana High School. What amazing luck that we have Google and YouTube now. Étonnant!

I am refreshing my memory and this short video above by Jay Swanson "How to Survive Ordering in a Parisian Cafe" is my first stop. I've typed up a few of the phrases that Jay mentions in his video that should come in handy at cafes in Paris. Thanks Jay! And thanks, Mr. Bell!

ENGLISH
FRENCH
Two for here
Deux sur place
Four for here
Quatre sur place
To Go
Emporter
A pitcher of water
Une carafe d'eau *
I would like
Je voudrais
I would like a coffee
Je voudrais un cafe
I would like some orange juice
Je voudrais du jus d'orange
I would like a croissant
Je voudrais un croissant
The check/bill
L'addition
*From another of Jay's videos https://youtu.be/895Q8gFceUQ 

And the three most important phrases in French...

 ENGLISH
 FRENCH
 Hello
Bonjour
 Please
S'il vous plait
 Thank You
 Merci


Numbers one to ten will probably come in handy. This kids counting video by KidsTV123 "Numbers Song in French. Une Chanson des Chiffres" will help you pronounce them.

 ENGLISH
 FRENCH

London April 2025

I flew to London for a few short days with my brother (Troy), his girlfriend (Polly) and met up with one of my old college roommates (Howie) while there.  4/18/25 (Friday) I flew from Pensacola (PNS) to Atlanta (ATL) where Troy and Polly were there waiting on me. We were all on the same overnight flight to London and landed at Heathrow (LHR). I do not think I slept any during the flight although this is usually how I fly.  4/19/25 (Saturday) Landing in London at Heathrow Saturday morning, the three of us took trains from Heathrow into London and eventually got off at the Tower Hill Station. We did take a few wrong turns along the way, but not by much. We did not end up in France or anything.  The Tower Hill Station was great for us as it is just a couple of blocks from Tower Hotel where we stayed with a fantastic view of Thames. The elevators need work, but the hotel is great. Stay there any chance you get to London. Get a river view room or even a view of the bridge if o...
