Have you been learning French for a long time (perhaps even decades) but you freeze and get a little bit uncomfortable when it’s time to actually use it in real-life situations? It’s probably because you’ve picked up on the fact that spoken French isn’t the same as the written French you learned in school, or even from your language learning apps.
One of the best ways gain more confidence is to learn go-to scripts and dialogues that you can use in everyday conversations. I have entire courses dedicated to this! But today, I’ll give you a sneak peek at some of that content, as we cover 7 common situations and dialogues that you can master to feel and sound more fluent in spoken French.
Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.

This is exactly the video I've been looking for! More of these please! Merci beaucoup !
This is truly useful to anyone who is looking to just learn how to get through a conversation like this without making embarassing errors. This should be distributed to all visitors to France two weeks before arrival. Despite years of learning French, what matters is to be with francophones to observe precisely what they really say in such situations. It is so helpful. Thankyou for this.
I understood all the spoken French in 1 to 5 as these are situations I am familiar with in every day life. However, number 6 was more difficult as I have never been invited to visit anyone although I live in France.
Listening is the thing I really need to improve so this video was excellent. Thank you.
So helpful! More of this please? I realize that learning French for reading before my PhD really doesn't help much with everyday spoken situations...! But I can manage journal articles in my field more-or-less. Merci beaucoup!
The dialogues are easy to understand. Merci Mme.
Merci Géraldine..Parfait!
Très splendide et grand et superbe leçon du debut de journée
Wonderful as always Geraldine. Living here for 22 years, I understood most of the conversations, but my aural understanding is still woozy so I got more out of the non-subtitled conversation bits so I can listen to the SPOKEN words. Merci! More of these would be great. One picky note, however: when you flashed a picture of the filet mignon during the resto conversation, it was an American BEEF filet mignon, not the usual French PORK filet mignon. It took me a while to discover the difference. Picky, I realize, but I don't want anyone to be surprised when their plat arrives. Thanks as always for a great video. Cheers!
I had the same thing happen mdr. I had to learn that a filet mignon here in the US is a filet de boeuf in France! The pork filet is very tasty tho 🙂
J’aime le format! Excellent complément à d’autres exercices.
This really helped me! Thank you. I really like the format. The conversation sure was fast but...tant pis!
Cette vidéo est vraiment utile. Merci Géraldine!
Bravo Geraldine! Perfect for my learners who are all seniors some in their 80s! This will be great as we have done conversations in a bakery 😊
Merci à vous- some useful language structure/phrases/mots for every day situations.
C‘est vraiment génial 👍
bien explique merci madame😊
❤ thanks the main thing i have hoped to see ion your videos is more spoken french /less english!
So helpful,bonjour
Très bien !
Merci à l'avance.
Merci Géraldine Vous êtes très gentille et généreuse.
Bonjour! Very useful video! I also love your sweather. Can you tell from which brand it is? Merci!
Moi, je trouve cette présentation très utile. À mon niveau, ça m’aide beaucoup. Bravo Géraldine. Au samedi prochain.
Moi, je suis vraiment content de decouvrir cette leçon parce que je practique parler en français.
These are fantastic, Géraldine! I am actually doing food vocabulary & restaurant/cafe ordering at the moment, so this is a perfect thing to direct my students too. I also have been focusing on how important “s’il vous plaît” & “au revoir, bonne journée” is in France, so it’s gratifying to see that reflected here as well. 😊
After getting my degree in French, this exact kind of dialogue was exactly where I felt my French was lacking when I moved there. I could talk all a day about literature and characters motivations, etc. but it took me a while to get this kind of chatty, life situations dialogue down with its specific rhythms and phrases (“Et avec ceci?” at the bakery being a great example). This would have been amazing to have. This is going to be a great help to many people learning. Thank you!
Merci Geraldine, super video et tres utile comme toujours. Souvent j’ai entendu “je vais apporter quelque chose.” Apporter ou amener, tous les deux ca va ?
Ce vidéo était parfait car je pars pour Bordeaux demain matin de bonne heure!! Peutêtre je prends un café viennois demain matin!
No wonder I got confused, prendre uses the compound future tense!
Bonjour Geraldine. Comment est-ce qu'on prononce ce mot ' Lagos'( à Nigeria)?
These seem very useful---spoken French is very hard to understand !!
I see now the problem in America with ordering "espresso"-- so many say "expresso", and we regard it as a mispronunciation. But I see that is the French version of the coffee.
i must say ''il vous rest'' got me confused for have you got, i would have said ''est ce que vous avez''
I wish you spoke French in your examples,but nice. Channel
