About this lesson

Order a coffee and a pastry, ask about Wi-Fi, and ask for the bill politely in a French café.

How to practise

  1. Learn the phrases on the first card: these are the lines you will say in the situation.
  2. When you see À toi · Your reply, answer out loud in your own words before the real line plays, then repeat it.
  3. Keep the phrasebook at the end: the phrases, what you will hear, and a tip for the real thing.
