Basic time: Scheduling a time for the appointment

💬 Say the day or time first, then add c'est possible ?. Swap it freely: Lundi, c'est possible ? "Is Monday possible?"

💬 The silent x of dix wakes up as a z sound before heures, so it's said (dee-zur).

🇫🇷 Appointments in France run on the 24-hour clock, so quinze heures is 3 p.m. Expect it on the phone and on written confirmations.

💬 J'ai "I have" is how a receptionist lists open slots. Je shortens to j' before a vowel, and it never stands alone.

💬 Minutes go straight after heures with no word for "and": dix heures quinze "ten fifteen".

💬 Here à means "under," as in booked under a name. Answer with just your surname, and be ready to spell it.

💬 À before a clock time means "at": à dix heures "at ten o'clock".

💬 Alors "so" signals a recap. Listen for it, because what follows is the confirmed booking.

🇫🇷 Adding madame or monsieur after a thank-you is standard politeness with strangers in France. A bare merci can sound a bit curt.

🇫🇷 This is the polite, professional reply to thanks. Friends would just say de rien "it's nothing".

💬 Vous aussi works as a reply to any good wish, like Bonne journée or Bon week-end "Have a good weekend".
