I remember trying to order a glass of champagne and meaning to say "je voudrais un verre de champagne," but somehow I messed so badly that it came out as "je voudrais cinq verres de champagne" and the bartender looked at me funny and proceeded to pour me five glasses. Super embarrassing lol.

It could be worse. When I was little, (about 27!) we went to France. I wanted to see how champagne was made, and ended up seeing mushrooms in caves. I had only mixed up champagne and champignons…. D’oh!

Ha! I did something similar as a bit rusty with my French and live in Amsterdam and have been learning Dutch way more recently and ordered “sez” canélés which is six in Dutch, but is pronounced the same as seize. I had to intervene when the cake count started going up 😂

Great Video, it took me years to figure this out just from overhearing the way french people would order meals. Despite having visited France for over 30 years I still haven't figured out the differences between a Cafè, a bistro and a restaurant as in some Cafè's you can get a meal and some bistros you can just drop in and have a beer or coffee.

«Je voudrais » - in UK English it is considered polite to say "I would like ..." and simply saying "I want ..." or "I will have ..." is considered to be too abrupt. As a result when I often hear this word for word translation (as I often do when I am back in St Jean de Luz, my mother's home town) it almost always turns out to be a British tourist.

Au Québec, the menu is called the menu, though we say la carte des vins. If we want to talk about a meal, menu is not used. Plat du jour ou table d'hôte ( reserved for fancy restaurants ) is more often used. In luncheons and diners, we say ' le spécial ' or 'spécial du jour '.

If you have a part 2, I'd love it if you could role play how to order fast food, e.g. McDonald's or Quick. E.g. if I say "I'd like a Set A/B/C please" would I pronounce the letters like they are in French (i.e. ah-beh-seh or like they are in English?) How would you say "I'd like to upsize my meal?" I'm sure other learners would find phrases like "à emporter, svp" useful too. Merci d'avance!

Practical and instructive for those of us Americans who get to Paris every 5 years who don’t want to completely humiliate themselves……..:) what would be really helpful is if you showed the phrase written phonetically, because it’s sometimes difficult to see a word in French and verbalize it correctly, instead we revert to hard consonants……and then become the stereotype of Americans in Paris!

In France the word vegetarian excludes all of the animal flesh, fish/meat. here is the definition: Régime alimentaire excluant toute chair animale (viande, poisson), mais qui admet en général la consommation d'aliments d'origine animale comme les œufs, le lait et les produits laitiers (fromage, yaourts).

In watching your video about asking questions, I got the idea you could often leave off the "est-ce que." Is it too informal in restaurants to leave off the "est-ce que" and just say "Je peux voir la carte, s'il vous plait?" or "Je peux avoir une serviette, s'il vous plait?" or "Je peux payer par carte?" It would "economize" in words and might be a little easier for foreigners to say. But I get the idea that maybe that isn't done?
@Street_French

When in a restaurant or coffee shop, if the place isn't busy, is it considered rude to linger for a while after you're done eating, either to read a book or have a conversation with a friend?

In Paris they don't have time for rudeness. If it's a cafe, there will usually be a sign saying "no laptops on such and such day/time." In bistrots or restos they'll just ask you to order something or leave, but usually only if it's busy.

StreetFrench.org when you look at the French word « encaisser » keyword there is « caisse » which is the that device used to put money in .. so when someone ask in the states « may I ring up you up »? It means they want to take care of the bill by going to the « caisse ». English word for caisse is cash register .

If you want a quick leçon d'histoire, i do believe in early french toile meant a cloth/ towel. this later evolved into a verb to wash yourself and also toilet.

But I do believe that l'eau de toilette means perfume by itself now or you could say Parfum

The place “les toilettes” always = the bathroom/restroom. But the verb is different. toiletter = to groom a dog. And the noun la toilette = your washing up/morning routine.

Qu'est-ce que les français pensent sur la demande d'une carafe d'eau au resto ? Ça se fait régulièrement ?

This is really good learning how to ask in French. However, if they answer me in French, I would have no clue with what they just said. What then? What is the percentage of waiters that can understand English?

Hi! You said in a different video that we should use j'aimerais instead of je voudrais. But here you say to not use either and say je prends. So no j'aimerais after all?
@Street_French
@Street_French 3 роки тому
ah so when we said "to say j'aimerais instead of je prendrais" it's not for restaurants specificaly, but in general to say "I would like"

So for example if you want to call a waiter, you don't say garçon of course, then how do you call him? Just Excusez-moi? or are there any other polite ways of calling them?
@Street_French
@Street_French 3 роки тому
ah yeah exactly we say "excusez-moi" with an eye contact or a small wave of the hand

In my youth, we said "pain" and "vin" whereas I hear you say "pen" and "ven". Is that street french? Or has the language changed that much so soon?
@Street_French
@Street_French 4 роки тому
Ah I don't know, depends on the region maybe. where did you speak French? in France? in Canada? etc.... in Paris and in most of France nowadays we pronounce "pain" and "vin" and "un" the same way. and it's not the same as "pen" or "chant" or "vent".

If garçon is rude why on earth have people been taught to say it in the first place? Was it once ok?
@Street_French
@Street_French 4 роки тому
I think it was ok before and also because it was used by royalty an bourgeoisie. so saying today sounds like you're pretending to be super posh and uptight haha so it's rude because it's kind of positioning yourself above people. you can look it up for more details, that's my interpretation ^^
