🇫🇷 French Shopping & Money
Prices, sizes, paying by card or cash — how to buy things without pointing and hoping. Haggling optional. Read them below — then actually say them: recognising a phrase and producing it out loud are different skills, and only one helps you in the moment.

| Do you have a bigger size? | Vous avez la taille au-dessus ? |
| A smaller size | Une taille en dessous |
| Where do I pay? | Où est la caisse ? |

How to make these stick
- Say each phrase out loud three times — your mouth learns separately from your eyes.
- Rehearse the scene: imagine the café or the street corner and act out both sides.
- Then use them in a real conversation — Yap gives you a 30-second spoken role-play with an AI tutor that responds, corrects gently, and never judges.
