Most expats struggle the moment they walk into a French store.
Let’s fix that today.

AUTHENTIQUE Episode 3: Buy a gift in French

Here are some expressions from the video:

Salesperson → you
• Bonjour, je peux vous aider ?
(Hello, can I help you?)

• Vous cherchez quelque chose en particulier ?
(Are you looking for something specific?)

You → salesperson
• Non merci, je regarde juste.
(No thank you, I’m just looking.)

• Oui s’il vous plaît, je cherche un cadeau.
(Yes please, I’m looking for a gift.)

• Est-ce que vous avez … ?
(Do you have…?)

• C’est pour offrir.
(It’s for a gift.)

• Vous pensez que ça lui plairait ?
(Do you think he or she would like it?)

• Est-ce que vous avez un sac cadeau ?
(Do you have a gift bag?)

• Est-ce que vous avez une carte cadeau ?
(Do you have a gift card?)

• Merci, bonne journée.
(Thank you, have a good day.)

Repeat them again and again until they feel automatic.
Two short minutes of practice and you’ll feel more confident in any French shop.

In this video, I walk you through a real TCF conversation topic:
You are your neighbor’s babysitter for the day and you need to ask questions about their child.

A lot of learners struggle at this part of the test, not because French is difficult, but because they don’t know what to say.

Examples you can use:
• Est ce qu’il a des allergies ou des choses importantes à savoir pour les repas ?
(Does he have any allergies or important things I should know about for meals?)

• Qu’est ce qu’il aime faire pendant la journée pour rester occupé ?
(What does he like to do during the day to stay busy?)

• Il fait encore des siestes ou il reste éveillé tout l’après midi ?
(Does he still take naps or does he stay awake all afternoon?)

• S’il est triste ou inquiet, qu’est ce qui l’aide à se calmer ?
(If he gets sad or worried, what usually helps him calm down?)

• À quelle heure il mange d’habitude et qu’est ce qu’il préfère ?
(What time does he usually eat and what does he prefer?)

• Est ce qu’il y a une règle importante à respecter pendant la journée ?
(Is there an important rule I need to follow during the day?)

• Vous voulez que je vous envoie des messages pour vous donner des nouvelles ?
(Do you want me to send you messages to give you updates?)

You get the idea, short sentences, direct questions, no overthinking.

If you want to feel confident in real French conversations, join French Class Café for the price of a French coffee ($2). Incroyable, non ?

Most people think it takes years to become fluent.
It doesn’t.
It takes months, not years, when you stop learning French like a school subject and start learning it the real way.

You probably noticed this already.
Apps, random grammar tips, YouTube videos, endless hours in language school…
They keep you busy, not fluent.

Fluency comes from confidence and clarity, not perfection.
You grow fast when you speak more often, practice regularly, listen to real fast French, imitate what you hear, and follow a plan you can actually stick to.

And I get it, learning alone is hard.
You don’t know what to learn next, a textbook feels overwhelming, you lose direction, you get confused, you slow down… or you give up.
(It happened to me with Spanish haha!)
That is why guidance changes everything.

If you want clarity, structure and a method that finally works, come to French Class Café.
For the price of a coffee in France ($2), I fix your biggest confusions, answer your questions, and build your 30 day plan.

A tiny hint: FLUENCE 🎓
