Bonjour et bienvenue à Coffee Break French, welcome once again to Coffee Break French.

Now in this lesson you're going to be learning to cope with language situations,

saying for example that you speak a little French or indeed that you don't understand.

I hope that you find this lesson useful.

talking about the languages that you speak and also being able to say that you don't understand something.

To begin with, we're going to learn the names of some of the languages that you may speak.

We'll start with the language we're learning.

No, notice here that we're talking about le français and long le.

The actual word is anglais and français.

But we're using the definite article, the word for the beforehand.

And we're talking about the language there, not the people.
