Coffee, much like food, is a sort of cultural ritual here in France. Enjoying a cup of coffee â whether itâs with a friend or by yourself â is a time to slow down and really savor the moment. But for tourists, the simple exchange of ordering a coffee can be a little bit intimidating, and I often hear them make some simple yet avoidable mistakes when ordering.
In todayâs video, which is entirely in French, Iâll explain the most common mistakes that non-native French speakers make when ordering their coffee in France. Iâll also give you some key vocabulary and teach you how to confidently order your coffee like a local would.
Take care and stay safe.
