Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Bonjour
bohn-ZHOOR
Hello
Je suis heureux
zhuh swee uh-RUH
I am happy
💬 [Heureux] changes with the speaker: a man says [je suis heureux], a woman says [je suis heureuse]. You will see the extra final [e] in writing, but it is not pronounced.
See breakdown →De vous revoir
duh voo ruh-vwahr
To see you again
💬 In [revoir], [re-] adds the idea of "again," so [vous revoir] is literally "see you again." You can reuse that pattern in words like [relire] "read again" or [revenir] "come back".
See breakdown →Bonjour, je suis heureux de vous revoir.
bohn-ZHOOR zhuh swee uh-RUH duh voo ruh-vwahr
Hello, I'm happy to see you again.
💬 [Vous revoir] uses [vous], which here means "you" in a polite or plural way. With one person you know well, it would be [te revoir].
🇫🇷 This is warm and polite, and works well with in-laws or older relatives you are not very casual with. It sounds more thoughtful than just [bonjour].
See breakdown →Comment allez-vous ?
koh-MAHN ah-lay voo
How are you?
💬 [Allez-vous] flips the usual order to make a question: literally "go you?" You will see the same pattern in formal questions like [avez-vous ?] or [sentez-vous ?].
🇫🇷 This is polite and fairly formal. With in-laws, it can sound respectful, especially if you are not on [tu] terms.
See breakdown →Aujourd'hui
oh-zhoor-DWEE
Today
💬 The [h] in [aujourd'hui] is silent. In careful speech it sounds roughly like (oh-zhoor-dwee).
See breakdown →Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui ?
koh-MAHN ah-lay voo oh-zhoor-DWEE
How are you today?
🇫🇷 This is a real check-in, not just a passing [ça va ?], so it suits a family conversation about health. It sounds caring without being overly intimate.
See breakdown →Bonjour Emily Smith .
bohn-ZHOOR
Hello Emily Smith.
Nous allons bien
noo ah-lohn bee-ehn
We are doing well
💬 French often uses [aller bien] where English uses "to be well." So [nous allons bien] is the normal everyday way to say "we're doing well."
