Common Questions for Everyday Conversations in French

1. Starting Simple Conversations

When you chat in French, it’s good to start with easy questions. Here are some important ones you can use:

• Comment ça va? (How are you?)
• Quel âge as-tu? (How old are you?)
• Où habites-tu? (Where do you live?)

Tip: Use these questions to connect with others and show you care about what they say.

2. Talking About Likes and Dislikes

To share what you like or don’t like, you can use the words aimer (to like) and ne pas aimer (to not like).

• J’aime (I like)
  • Example: J’aime le chocolat. (I like chocolate.)
• Je n’aime pas (I don’t like)
  • Example: Je n’aime pas les épinards. (I don’t like spinach.)

3. Practicing Speaking

Role-plays are a fun way to practice. Pair up with a friend and act out conversations using the questions and phrases above. Here’s an example:

• A: Hi! How are you?
• B: I’m good, thanks! And you?
• A: I’m okay. How old are you?

4. Improving Reading Skills

Pick short stories or conversations to read. Try to find key details by asking questions like "Who?" "What?" and "Where?"

5. Listening Practice

Listen to simple spoken French from videos or audio. Focus on understanding the main ideas and try to answer easy questions about what you’ve heard.

By working on these skills, you’ll get better at having everyday conversations in French!
