BonjourHello
Your first words of French — and the language's big challenge: nothing is read the way it is written. Three traps from the start: the nasal vowels (the on of bonjour comes out through the nose), the silent final letters (the -t of salut is not said) and the liaison (words run together). We start with greetings — bonjour, salut, bonsoir — and the everyday oui / non / d'accord. Standard French.
