Salut - hi (the casual way to say hello)
Bon aprés-midi - good afternoon
Bonsoir - good evening
Bonne nuit - good night
Comment ça va? How are you?
ça va bien, merci - I am fine thank you
ça ne va pas (or ça va mal) - I am not well (nothing is going right)
Comment t'appelles tu? Comment tu t'appelles? What is your name?
Je m'appelle Juliette - my name is Juliette
Now listen...
Ou habites-tu? Where do you live?
J'habite a Moseley - I live in Moseley
J'habite en Grande Bretagne - I live in Great Britain

Quel age as-tu? How old are you?
