I'm gonna use it on the dozens of people who ask me how I'm going when I'm walking the dog

Fun, fun, fun. The ça is pronounced sa, just so you sound french

The meaning, "it goes"
It can be a question "ça va?"
Or the answer, given ...
In a jolly voice means it goes ... Well
In a sad, melencolly voice is it goes ... Badly
Or just normally means , it goes ... Ok.

Very versatile and compact language is french ... Occasionally

I think me ever sounding French is about as likely as peace in the Middle East.

You can speak German - all you have to do is yell everything.

Chuckle.
Flying back to france on a Ryanair plane. One of the cabin staff was German. The plane landed but was taxying, one steward said "please remain in your seats until the plane has stopped". Of course everyone continues getting up, getting bags from overhead lockers etc. the German guy yelled "sit down". That worked. Paul and i were in stitches at the german command in his voice

I don't understand the rush to stand up when the plane lands. I just sit and wait then walk out behind them, I'm willing to give up the 30 seconds they gain over me.

It is really an amazing thing. However, to be honest, most Germans can't help but sound weird.

Yup, I'll sit until those in the isle start moving. I don't see a problem

I have a German friend, he's married the French woman who has the house across the square. They spend winter in Germany and summer here. He was a teacher so despite being german the job also boosted his commanding voice,
