In this lesson you will learn how to say “How are you?” in French. There are several ways: “Comment allez-vous?” (formal) and “ça va” (informal). To say how are you say “Comment allez-vous?” If you do not know the person or if they are older than yourself. If you’re asking a peer or somebody who is younger than yourself then you can ask “Comment vas-tu?”.

If you are speaking to a peer you can ask “ça va?” This is an informal way of asking somebody how they are doing.

Other forms of this question are “ça va bien?” and “comment ça va?” Remember, it is very important to use the formal “Comment allez-vous?” With somebody who you don’t know.
