Ummm.......no.  Sorry, I don't.  I love the sound of French, but the only words I know are "yes," "thank you," "you're welcome," "hello," etc., oh yeah, I also know "Are you sleeping?  Are you sleeping, Brother John?  Brother John?  Morning bells are ringing...  Morning bells are ringing... Ding! Dong! Ding!  Ding! Dong! Ding!"  My mom speaks French pretty well.  Since Maine is right next to Quebec (a French-speaking province, if you didn't know...), I hear French a lot.  Of course, I also hear Russian, Spanish, and a bunch of other languages, too...  One time, when we were on a trip in Quebec, my mom decided to try to show off her skills at speaking French. (Every employed person in Quebec speaks English, too, so she didn't have to.)  We were at a gas station and we need the key to the bathroom.  She said what she thought was the right thing, and the guy gave her the key.  Later, we looked it up in the dictionary, and, it turns out, she asked if she could limp to the bathroom. :) So really, learn "key" and "bathroom," and always be sure that you bring a dictionary along. :):)

I live in Quebec, so I speak French.  Sorry...  I don't know any good softwares\websites.  Unless you have a Mac...  But you can ask me how to say something and I'll show you.  Sorry.
