Additional Information

*IMPORTANT: Since the changeover of all European Union countries (except UK) to the euro, banks no longer change dollars into euros. This can only be done at a "Bureau de Change" or Currency Exchange Office. These are usually found only in the larger cities (and at most airports).

Each word list is geared to teach you one of three different skills, depending on what you'll need to do with the vocabulary:

- LISEZ (READ): for signs in the airport, train station, on the street.

- ÉCOUTEZ (LISTEN): for phrases that French people (a train conductor, a waiter) might say to you. (Wouldn't it be nice to know what they're saying?)

- PARLEZ (SPEAK): for questions you might need to ask (Where is the station? Is this the right train?)

When you have finished with the instruction, you should be able to:

- Read and understand all vocabulary marked with LISEZ;

- Hear and understand all vocabulary marked with ÉCOUTEZ or E;

- Speak all vocabulary marked with PARLEZ or P (make sure you practice saying these words after the speaker).

Comment Payez-Vous?
(How are you going to pay?)

 
Here we present some useful phrases you'll need when dealing with money situations. (Naturally, when talking about money, there will be numbers involved...thank goodness the euro is now established so at least you have a ball-park idea of what something costs without having to convert francs to dollars!)
