Do you know how to appeler quelqu’un <\/strong>(call someone) in France? Do you understand how the French say and write les num\u00e9ros de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone<\/strong> (phone numbers)? Les num\u00e9ros de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone<\/strong> around the world are not always the same. Un num\u00e9ro de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> could just look like a series of random numbers if you’ve never seen one before!<\/p>\n

Aux USA<\/strong> (in the US), a phone number has the area code followed by the phone number. The actual number will be presented with the area code first then the 7 digit phone number split up into one group of 3 and one group of 4.<\/p>\n

Voici un num\u00e9ro de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone am\u00e9ricain<\/strong>:
\n(978) 555-5003<\/p>\n

En anglais<\/strong>, each digit is said as a separate word with a small pause between the groupings:<\/p>\n

nine seven eight — five five five — five zero zero three<\/em><\/p>\n

Cependant<\/strong> (however), les num\u00e9ros de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> (French phone numbers) are not written the same way. Les num\u00e9ros<\/strong> are split up into groups of two digits with a separator between them, usually un espace<\/strong> (a space). The first two num\u00e9ros<\/strong> work like area codes in the US.<\/p>\n

Voici un num\u00e9ro de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone fran\u00e7ais<\/strong>:
\n01 31 81 92 68<\/p>\n

En fran\u00e7ais<\/strong>, the number is read off with each group said as one number, with 01-09 adding a z\u00e9ro<\/strong> for clarity:<\/p>\n

z\u00e9ro un — trente et un — quatre-vingt-un — quatre-vingt-douze — soixante-huit<\/em>
\nzero one — thirty one — eighty one — ninety two — sixty eight<\/p>\n

Si le fran\u00e7ais n’est pas ta langue maternelle<\/strong> (if French isn’t your native language), the hardest part is hearing les num\u00e9ros<\/strong> correctly. Les num\u00e9ros fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> around 70 and above tend to get a little strange for English speakers. The way that soixante-dix<\/strong> (sixty-ten) is 70 and quatre-vingt-dix<\/strong> (four twenties and ten) is 90!<\/p>\n

When someone says their phone number you have to quickly decide whether Soixantedix<\/em> is 60 10<\/em> or 70, o<\/em>r whether quatrevingtdix<\/em> is 4 20 10<\/em> or 90<\/em>. You\u2019ll quickly realize you\u2019ve misheard something if you appelle la mauvaise personne<\/strong> (call the wrong person)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
