Companion summary
Did you know that a simple word can make someone's whole face light up with a smile? When you travel or meet someone new, these words work like a magic key that opens friendly doors. In French, "merci" sounds a little like "mercy" — say it softly and it feels like a tiny hug. When you finish, try teaching one word to a grown-up and see if they can guess which language it is.
