If you’ve ever watched a K-drama or followed a K-pop group, chances are you’ve heard the term “unnie” more than once. In Korean, titles and honorifics are essential tools in communication — not just for politeness, but for expressing relationships, social hierarchy, and intimacy.
Whether you're traveling to France, chatting with a French friend, or learning the language for fun, knowing how to say goodbye in French is essential. In French culture, the way you say goodbye can leave a lasting impression. It's not just about parting ways—it's a gesture of politeness, respect, and connection.
Unlike English, many French letters don’t sound how they look. For instance, the letter G sounds like “J” in English, while J sounds like “G.” Add in the French-specific vowels and nasal sounds, and it’s no surprise learners struggle. But with the right tools and practice, mastering the French alphabet becomes not only doable but enjoyable.

Saying “hi” correctly can make a great first impression, whether you're chatting with friends in Mexico, emailing a client in Spain, or making small talk in a Colombian café.
