TRAVEL WITH US TO FRANCE!

Let us teach you how! We are: Kyle, Kim, Kirsten, Cole, Rachel, Libby, Frankie, Dustin, Guy, and Bobby

This website is designed to help you learn how to speak in French. Here are some good reasons why you should know how to travel in French. It would be important to speak in French because if you were at an airport in France, you would have to say where you want to go in French. If you were lost in France, we would have to be able to read a map in French. If you were on a bus in France, you would have to tell the bus driver where you wanted to get off. If you were traveling in a car and went through a toll booth, you would have to know how much money to give them. These are some of the reasons why you should learn French travel words. So, please enjoy the rest of our website. Thank you.

Canoe is spelled the same in French, but in French the 'e' has '¨'over it.

Walking is like marching. Marcher is similar to march.

Train is spelled the same in both languages.

Travel is voyager in French. Voyage is another word for trip in English.

Airport ends the same, but starts out 'aéro' instead of 'air'.

For tourist, just add an 'e' to the end.

When you are on a boat you fish. You need 'bait'. Bait reminds you of bateau.
