Bonjour, Merci Et Au Revoir

For the last several months, I have been practicing French and it's a beauty. First off,  French is spoken in various parts of the world. It has 77 million native speakers and a total of 220 million speakers around the globe. It is an official language or most spoken in 38 different countries which are France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco,  Switzerland, Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Réunion, Rwanda, Sénégal, Seychelles, Togo, Tunisia, Canada, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Haïti, Martinique, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Vanuatu. There are minor differences in each country on how they speak it like the dialects but is still considered French. Origins of the French language is very debatable on what exact year it is but in context it came 800-900. The first written manuscript is the famous Strasbourg oaths. The introduction of the Celtics and Anglo-Saxon language to continental Europe, mostly western Europe changed the French language. But it also changed the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic language as well, creating the French we know now, Bonjour Monsieur and the English today, Hello sir.
Let us start with the basic words. Bonjour, Merci, and Revoir.

  • Bonjour means Hello (but it can also be used as good morning) to pronounce bonjour it's like, bwon shyour.
  • Merci means thank you. To pronounce Merci is like mehrk si.
  • Au Revoir means goodbye (but it can also be used as seeing you next time) to pronounce Au Revoir is Eh hre vwa.
