The official and spoken language used here in Montpellier is French. French is everywhere I go. From going to the store, to my school and even when I take the train and the bus. However, Montpellier has many people speaking many languages other than French. English, Dutch, Spanish, German, Arabic, Japanese and even Mandarin are also spoken here.
Do you speak another language? If you could learn any language in the world, which one would you choose?
In France, they use money called euros (€). Euros come in coins and colorful paper bills! The euros are very pretty to look at.
In Montpellier, it depends on where you buy water, but typically a small bottle of water can cost between €0.50 to €2. It can cost more at cafes, restaurants or in areas where there are many people visiting.
In France, you can always ask for free tap water at a restaurant. Instead of buying a bottle of water, you tell the waiter, Une carafe d'eau, s'il vous plait! This means, "A pitcher of water, please!"
