5 French words

1. “Enchante”
- Enchante is the polite way to respond when you first meet someone. It literally means
"enchanted" to meet you, but is also short for conveying "delighted to meet you" and
"it's such a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

2. “Sante”
-Sante is the word for cheers' in French. It literally means 'cheers to your health or
cheers to your lover

3. “Je Tiens À toi”

-This word means ' care about you' or 1 am fond of you'. This is a really nice way of
expressing care and affection for someone in French.

4. “Saperlipopette”
-Saperlipopette this word is a little old fashioned. But, it's too fun to say not to include!
And if you feel inclined to use it during a conversation, it replaces the English "oh my
goodness."

5. “Bien Joué”
-simply means “Good job, Nice game, Well done, Well Played”

more French than the infamous "Gallic shrug," but because of its many different
meanings, it's not the easiest one to pick up.
It's commonly used when you're indifferent, doubtful, or indecisive, but it can express
a wide range of messages: "It's not my fault,"
"There is nothing I can do," "Don't ask me," and more.

way of doing it is an interesting variation
