French people are often frank and direct; they will forgive you if you communicate in "survival mode"—or if you struggle at first to form complete, grammatically correct sentences. Using basic vocabulary—even just individual words—can help you make yourself understood in many tricky situations. That’s true of most languages, after all. Here are a few basic French terms that are useful for travel or simple conversations: To walk : Marcher To go : Aller To come : Venir To eat : Manger To drink : Boire To sleep : Dormir Accommodation : Hébergement Transport : Transport Train : Train Bus : Bus Apartment : Appartement Hostel : Auberge Plane : Avion Time/Hour : Temps/ Heure Ticket : Ticket Money : Argent Currency exchange : Bureau de change Restrooms/Toilet : Toilettes Boat : Bateau Ferry : Ferry To travel : Voyager Supermarket : Supermarché Shops : Commerces Best of luck in your trainings !
