Top Ten Easiest French Words

French is the official of France and and one of the official of Canada.

I'll have French word (translation) and my comments are tips to learn each word.

The Top Ten

1 Bonjour (Good day)

The first French word I learned was Bonjour. Most people think this is hello and so did I, but it's good day.

2 Bon Bon (Candy)

3 Bon (Good)

I think I can just about manage to say this without any real danger of sounding like I have a speech impediment.

I talked about bonjour. Since it's good day so bon is good in French...

4 Jour (Day)

And jour is day so it make's sense.

5 Papa (Dad)

6 Maman (Mom)

7 Allez (Go)

8 Brun (Brown)

9 Rose (Pink)

10 Bien (Good)

Its easy if you have already learned Spanish

The Contenders

11 Non (No)

By far the easiest.

12 Caillou (Pebble)

You probably know this word from the whiny 4 year old brat named Caillou, which means pebble in French. Imagine being named after a pebble.

13 Zut! (Damn!)

It's an interjection. It's actually a cuss word.

14 Au Revoir (Goodbye)

15 Avec (With)

16 Bois (wood)
