Talking "Learning French" for my Nephews - A Funny

Howdo,

For a start - lets be very clear that I speak very little French.
Im more a visual linguist - "Can I have TWO of THEM..."

Ill save my DW the effort by recalling our first trip to DLP.
I had gone in to the gift shop to buy some sunglasses (I had forgotten mine from home) a postcard and some stamps.
I went to the CM and asked for some stamps, and he politely asked me how many and where to - in French!
Well my reaction was the same as any normal British bloke on holiday with his DW... "Mel?, MEL! He's talking French Mel! Help!"

Anyhows...
We're off again to DLP on Thursday (YAY!) for our 11th trip, but this time we are taking DW's Sister and respective family for their first time.

I thought it would be fun therefore to impress my 2 nephews & niece with my French skills and teach them a few of the phrases that DW and I have "interpreted" in our previous travels.

This is what I have so far.
Please feel free to add any more if you can - lets see if we can create a bit of a daft list.

It will never be the same again.
