Ça va, Paul?
How’s it going, Paul?
Paul might respond to this question in a number of ways:

Many students are resuming their studies this week, and some will be studying French for the first time! That makes this a perfect week to begin reviewing some basic, beginning French vocabulary. Over the coming days, we’ll post words and phrases that are essential to getting started with French.
If you’re a new student or teacher of new students, we hope some of the words and phrases will help you reinforce what you’re learning and teaching in your classes. If you’re a longtime student of French, maybe the upcoming postings will bring back some memories of your own early French studies and just maybe refresh a few forgotten details.
Here’s hoping you enjoy your studies of French as much as we do!
Bonne chance! (good luck)
