Description
This vocabulary section focuses on learning how to inquire about and share personal information in French.
Have you ever wished you could ask a French tourist about their personal interests or inform them of your preferred nickname? In this section, we’ll cover the essential phrases to do just that.
Mastering the art of “small talk” in French or any foreign language is easier than you might think. There are a limited number of questions you can ask someone to initiate a conversation, whether it’s in a professional setting, social gathering, or on a romantic date.
Below, you’ll find the ten most commonly discussed topics for initial encounters, including introducing yourself, sharing your address and age, discussing marital status and occupation, and more.
Immerse yourself in these French expressions, and next time you meet a French-speaking person, you’ll be ready to engage in a meaningful conversation.
