Step 1: Listen Carefully to the Pronunciation
Learning to pronounce a word or phrase by reading text is usually much more difficult than listening to it spoken out loud. The video above will tell you exactly how to pronounce the words necessary to make your toast. It can be helpful to listen to the clip a few times to make sure you understand exactly how everything was said.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFvJnKC4Yr0
Step 2: Repeat and Memorize the Phrase
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. While a French accent may sound odd to a native English speaker at first, it will make your words much easier to understand in French. Also, the more often you say the phrase, the more likely you are to remember it when you need it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFvJnKC4Yr0
Step 3: A Specific Toast
"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
