French (prelude to a post on der Schweiz)

Coming soon: a post about my recent trip to Switzerland. Full of adventure and castles. However, until I get the photos uploaded I will entertain you with my newly acquired French speaking skills.

(Disclaimer: all French words given here will be spelled as I would pronounce them as I learned all my French orally. Sorry Charles!)

1. Je mirret en cafe sivouplais (I would like a coffee please)
2. Je mirret leau non gaseous sivouplais (I would like water without gas please)
3. Je mirret en carte sivouplais (I would like a menu please)
4. Je mirret .... (you get the idea)
5. Eu son le toilet? (where are the toilets?)
6. Serva? (How are you?)
7. Serva bien (I'm good)
8. Banan (banana)
9. Tomat (tomato)
10. Dorian (your welcome)
11. Merci (thank you, but that's easy, everyone knows that)

And now we come to the completion of my French knowledge (except for French words that are commonly used in English like "armoir", but I'll save that for another post) I hope this has been educational for all my readers and I am sincerely sorry to anyone reading this who actually knows French :)
