Transportation
This page is designed to help our travelers to learn simple french phrases and words
Additional Info
Each word list is geared to teach you one of three different skills, depending on what you'll need to do with the vocabulary:
- LISEZ (READ): for
signs in the airport, train station, on the street.
- ÉCOUTEZ (LISTEN): for phrases that
French people (a train conductor, a waiter) might say to you.
(Wouldn't it be nice to know what they're saying?)
- PARLEZ (SPEAK): for questions you might
need to ask (Where is the station? Is this the right train?)
When you have finished with the instruction, you should
be able to:
- Read and understand all vocabulary marked with LISEZ;
- Hear and understand all vocabulary marked with ÉCOUTEZ or E;
- Speak all vocabulary marked with PARLEZ or P (make sure you practice saying these
words after the speaker).

Here is a handy map of major French cities. Click on each to hear it pronounced by a native! We have included this map for two reasons: one, so you will be able to comprehend city names spoken orally; and two, so that if you happen to be buying a ticket to some city, you will be able to pronounce it so the clerk can understand you! (As you know, French people do NOT pronounce their capital city "PARE-ISS"..and that glitzy resort city on the Riviera is NOT pronounced "NEISS." Another tricky one is that famous Champagne town (Hint: starts with an "R"; it's just northeast of Paris). Click to hear them all.and be sure to practice pronouncing the ones you might need to say!
