Je crois que nous aurons une table libre dans dix minutes.
–Merci. C’est possible de nous asseoir
au bar pendant que nous attendons?

I believe we’ll have a free table in ten minutes.

THIS WEEK
When you visit France as a native English speaker, everyday interactions that you take for granted at home can suddenly feel like a lot of work. But they also can be very rewarding. This week, we’re going to look at one such common interaction — walking into a café or restaurant and knowing what to say and learning to recognize some of the responses. We’ll actually build a conversation throughout the week to help you learn key words and phrases.

WITH MEMBERSHIP, LIFE’S A LITTLE MORE FRENCH!
