How to Say ‘I can come pick you up’ in French

Je peux venir vous chercher

[zhuh puh vuh-NEER voo sher-SHAY]

💬 Usage Tip: With verbs like [venir], French can stack another verb after it: [venir vous chercher] = "come get/pick you up." [Vous] here means the person being picked up, so you can swap it: [venir me chercher], [venir nous chercher].

What Learners Are Saying

Moved to Lyon for a culinary apprenticeship. The food and restaurant scenarios were exactly what I needed — my French colleagues were genuinely impressed.

Tom H., 38, Chef

Studying in Paris and the academic French I learned in school was useless for daily life. This app filled the gap in weeks, not months.

Nina W., 29, Graduate Student

Learning a language has never been as immediately impactful. Now I can charm the locals and navigate the food scene like a boss.
