1. Ce n'est rien/De nada/Sei il benvenuto.

I got the Sei il benvenuto form Google translate. Let me know if I missed the Spanish or if the Italian is too formal. I like this sort of thing.

2. In Paris they all said "je vous en prie" when I said "merci, m'sieu/madame"

In Italian it is "prego" after "grazie." Oh, and always remember the honorific title (we don't but I think the Romance languages always do...)

3. I've never heard that one

but I've never been to Paris, only Quebec. In my kids' school they say, "De rien" when I went to school it was "Bienvenue" (we are/were all in French Immersion programs). So confusing!

4. Not only in Paris. My west African ESL student from Benin says it, too.

If you ask Google Translate, they say it means "please." But I think the translation literally is "I pray you..." as "prego" might be too.

"Bienvenue" means welcome, I think...

5. Okay, looked it up

"Je vous en prie" is a formal way of saying de rien and the translation (non-literal) is "don't mention it". It also says 'Bienvenue' is a Quebec phrase for you're welcome which makes sense since my family is French-Canadian and that's what we normally use but in French Immersion in my kids' schools you are now taught Parisien french (it was more of a hybrid of Parisien/Quebec french when I went to school) Another answer says you can say, "avec plaisir" (it's my pleasure) instead.

6. very interesting. I am learning French from my ESl student...and Italian from my

8 year old grandson in immersion Italian school in Glendale, CA.

We all learn in different ways, don't we...
