Okay, here goes. I was studying for my French test tomorrow and couldn't concentrate, so I logged onto Whyville! Then I began to think that maybe the Whyvillians might want to learn some French words... these were in my lesson book and I hope you enjoy them!

I couldn't figure out how to do the accent marks so I will not include those sorry :(

French word/phrase English translation
Excusez-moi de vous deranger... Pardon me for interrupting....
Prenez une feuille de papier Take out a sheet of paper
Un peu de silence s'il vous plait Please be quiet
Passez- moi vos devoirs Pass in your homework
Je ne comprends pas I don't understand
Allez au tableau Go to the board
Je ne said pas I don't know
Je regrette I'm sorry
il me faut un stylo I need a pen
il me faut de papier I need some paper
Est- ce que je peux aller au WC May I go to the restroom?
Debarrassez vos pupitres Clear your desks.
