#1 : Je ne sais pas...

In french, if you want to say "I don't know", it's "je ne sais pas"

But "je ne sais pas" sucks.

• EVERY TIME, you have to delete the ne, so it becomes : je sais pas
• Most of the time, you don't have to pronounce the e in je so : jsais pas
• As js is too hard to pronounce, the French say ch : chais pas

And je ne sais pas becomes chai pas.

Sometimes, you will even hear something like : chpa.

End of first lesson. Do you understand ?
