Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Venez,
veh-nay
Come,
💬 [Venez] is the form used to address more than one person, or one person formally. You will hear the same pattern in [entrez], [attendez], [regardez].
See breakdown →Je vais vous aider.
zhuh veh voo eh-day
I am going to help you.
Venez, je vais vous aider.
vuh-nay zhuh veh voo eh-day
Let me help you.
💬 [Vous aider] means "help you," with [vous] placed before the verb in French, not after it. You can reuse that pattern in [je vais vous montrer] or [je vais vous expliquer].
See breakdown →On descend
ohn deh-sahn
We go down
💬 In everyday French, [on] often means "we," not just "one" or "people in general." So [on descend] is a very normal way to say "we're going down."
See breakdown →Et, hop, c'est parti...
ay op ce eh par-tee
And, hop, there we go...
💬 [C'] only appears joined to the next word, here in [c'est]. Never alone.
See breakdown →On descend et, hop, c'est parti...
ohn day-sohn ay op se eh par-tee
Step down. Off we go!
💬 [C'est parti] is a fixed everyday phrase for "here we go" or "off we go," not literally "it has left." You can also use it when starting something: [Allez, c'est parti !]
See breakdown →Là on croise la veuve
lah ohn krwaz lah vuhv
There we meet the widow
💬 [Là] often means more than physical "there"; here it works like "now / at this point" as the speaker moves through the scene. You will hear the same thing in [là, on tourne à gauche].
See breakdown →Du tambour de la fanfare.
dyoo tahm-boor duh lah fahn-fahr
Of the band drummer.
Là on croise la veuve du tambour de la fanfare.
lah ohn krwaz lah vuhv dyoo tahm-boor duh lah fahn-fahr

Nina W., 29, Graduate Student
