The best way to learn and remember a phrase is to simply repeat it over and over. When speaking out loud, don't forget to say the words with the best French accent that you can.

"A toast" in French is "un toast", but you'll also actually need a specific toast to declare after that! The phrase "à votre santé" means "to your health". You can say "un toast à votre santé" if you want to say "a toast to your health." However, you can also say "un toast" at the beginning of your paragraph, say some other kind words, and then add "à votre santé" at the end.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFvJnKC4Yr0
