      Often the French get a bad rap for being ‘rude’, but that’s only because tourists come up and ask if they can “speak English”, without even attempting a proper hello. Learn the basics, pay your respects, and see the real side of French hospitality. Worst case, you’ll be able to ask where the ‘toilette’ is, without resorting to pointing at your crotch like an imbecile!

      This deck includes 54 French translations essential for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the culture they're exploring - from everyday greetings and introductions to eating out, moving around, or finding a place to stay. Practical phrases are accompanied by easy-to-learn pronunciation. Attractive, sturdy, vintage-style metal tin container. 

      The French in Wisconsin

      Although many Wisconsin towns bear French names, early French immigration and settlement in Wisconsin was minimal. The French played an important economic role in 17th and 18th century Wisconsin but did not contribute many permanent residents. In 1763, the French lost control of Wisconsin to the British in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Many sources on our site document the colorful history and powerful influence of early French explorers, traders, missionaries, and soldiers. After that era, between 1820 and 1950, only 18,398 French immigrants settled in Wisconsin, most in Milwaukee and Dane counties. (From https://wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS2101)
