Linguaphone, Français. French. Unite un, unit one. Bonjour et bienvenue. Hello and welcome.

In a moment, you can listen again to part of the scene in the Gare du Nord. But first, hear the words and

phrases that will help you understand better.

You'll hear each word of phrase in French followed by its English quivalent and then again in French. After

you hear the French the second time, repeat it in the pause. For example,

N'est-ce pas? aren't you ? n'est-ce pas? now you repeat it. Ready, here is the first.

Monsieur, Mr. or Sir. Monsieur.

Monsieur Savile, vous êtes du snack track, n'est-ce pas?

Et bien, bonsoir et bienvenue à Paris.

We'll continue that scene in a moment, but first is that greeting again.

Bonsoir et bienvenue à Paris. Listen again and repeat. Bonsoir et bienvenue à Paris.

In the dialogue you heard just now Ellein used the word for good evening, bonsoir, because it's late in the

evening.

The ususl greeting for almost any time during the day is Bonjour. This means hello and also good moring,

good afternoon or good day.

Listen and repeat.

Bonjour.

Now listen to the greeting Hello and welcome to Paris and repeat it.

Bonjour et bienvenue à Paris.

And now add the name at the begining to check that the person you're talking to is who you think it is, like

this:

Monsieur Savile? Bonjour et bienvenue à Paris.

Note the rising intonation at the end of name. Monsieur Savile? Listen again and in the pause copy that

rising intonation.

Monsieur Savile? Here is another example, this time welcome Ellein Endeole à Londres to London.

Listen and repeat.

Ellein Endeole? Bonjour et bienvenue à Londres.

hear the correct answer and then there will be a second pause for you to repeat it.
