Parlez-vous français?

French phrases to know intimately:

Je regrette

Je suis désolé

I was militant about NOT learning French because it is such an anti-phonetic language before I came here. After being berated by French speakers throwing their French at me I am a changed man. I will learn. I will at least learn how to say some fine day, "Where is a showing of Star Wars 3?" That might not be translatable although.
