He's also a future traveler to Paris (he hopes), and probably the most qualified person to teach you some French, phrase by phrase. He does it on his Let's Learn french Together blog, and even provides the correct pronunciation. Here are two recent lessons:
Quick Phrase of the Day - Non Smoking
Here's a phrase you will want to learn if you are a non smoker:
Nous voudrions une table dans la non-fumeur (noo voo dree yohn oon tah bluh dahn lah nahn few mure) - I would like a table in the non smoking section.Quick Phrase of the Day - It's Too Expensive For Me
Something you may have to say to a shop owner:
Je suis désolé. C'est trop cher pour moi (zhuh swee day zole lay. Say troh shehr poor mwah) - I am sorry. It is too expensive for me.Repeat this phrase & write it down all day long till you know it by heart.

Sorry teacher but " une table dans la non fumeur" is not correct French syntax.
Besides, as you may know, there is no more smoking or non-smoking sections as smoking is 100% banned in public places.

Alain is quite correct - you won't need expression number 1 any longer
BUT
You'll most probably have use for example n°2 every day!!

Also, as I am a beginner too, I am taking a lot from books that I have. Itry to explain to all that are taking in my site, that my purpose is to learn french too, not to be fluent, but to be able to stumble around France & be able to be somewhat understood, much in the same way foreignors come here & even though they do not speak perfect Englishm I can still make out what they are saying. That is what I hope to achieve when if & when I go to France. I am just trying to let everyone have fun with my site. Enjoy -Roy
