What's inside
You already speak more French than you think — a short history of the thousand-year love story between English and French, and why a third of the words you're about to learn are already yours.
Your first week — hello, please, sorry, "slower, please": the ten you can't do without.
Everyday life — shops, bakery, market and chemist, and what to answer when they say Avec ceci ?
The mairie & the paperwork — appointments, documents, forms, and the one sentence that gets it all written down.
Builders & repairs — leaks, heating, "it's not working", and how to ask for a devis.
Your neighbours — small talk, coffee invitations, and how to turn every chat into a free lesson.
The basics — numbers, days, months, telling the time, reading the sign on the shop door.
