Lol, you're right, but there are exceptions on both sides of the sea...

1. Youre right, you say it "bon joor" but you don't say the "n" and you don't say the invisible "d" before "j", if you know what I mean, I hope 2. "Comment allez-vous", also, you don't say any "n" at the end of "comment", just say "kohmmo tallay voo" and its gonna be perfect :) 3. its "Très bien" :P (you pronounce it "bee ein" You just say "bee" and then "one" in german (which is ein) but you don't pronounce the "n" :) Still, pretty good :P

"comment tu t'appelles" means "what is your name" it's just that there are different ways of sayin' it, for example : Quel est ton nom? If I translate word for word : Comment tu t'appelles? = How are you called? Comment vous vous appellez?* = How are you called? Quel est ton nom? = What is your name? *I didn't make a mistake by putting two "vous", also, the "t" in "t'appelles" is "tu" Hope it helped and don't hesitate if you got questions There are more diff ways of sayin it tho

Ok, "j'sais" means "je sais" (I know) it's just a contraction like "it's" instead of "it is" but in French "it's" is ALWAYS in a contracted form ("c'est" or, when not contracted "ceci/cela/ça est" but you can't put a word beginning with a vowel after a word that ends with one, it just doesn't work) So that's it and don't hesitate if you have questions :)

Sorry for bein' a bit late, but I would :) Actually, in Canada, it's only in the province of Quebec that we speak French (and I'm a quebecer, or french canadian...) I mean, its sure that there are ppl who speak French across Canada but Quebec is THE place, it's predominantly French, but different expressions, names sometimes and ways of speaking than in France... anyways Quebec is more "united" in the way of saying things/pronouncing them because France has a lot of different "communities"
