Lesson # 11 - Let Me Introduce...

A phrase you will need to know when you are introducing yourself & your family to others:

Je vous présente.... (zhuh voo pray zahnt) - I would like to introduce to you...
C'est ...(say) -This is...

mon ami (mohn ah mee) my friend (refering to a male)
mon amie (mon ah mee) my friend (refering to a female)

You will notice they both sound the same, only spelled differently.

ma famille (mah fah meel) - my family
mon père (mohn pehr) - my father
ma mère (mah mehr) - my mother
mon frère (mohn frehr) - my brother
ma sœur (mah sir) - my sister
mon fils (mohn fee) - my son
ma fille (mah feel) - my daughter
mon copain (mohn coh pain) - my boyfriend
ma copine (mah coh peen) - my girlfriend
mon mari (mohn mah ree) - my husband
ma femme (mah fehm) - my wife

More numbers:
41 - quarante et un (kah rahnt ay uhn), 42- quarante-deux (kah rahnt doo), 43- quarante-trois (kah rahnt twah), 44- quarante-quatre (kah rahnt kaht truh), 45- quarante-cinq (kah rahnt sank)
