Sorry for the bad image quality
To apologise / 謝る
= s’excuser
to ask for forgiveness
= demander pardon
to be sorry
= être désolé (e)
I’m sorry. / ごめんなさい！
= Je suis désolé(e)

In a conversation to have someone repeat what they just said you can say “Pardon?”, or “Comment?” (or “Quoi” in a familiar context only).
Excuse me!/ すみません！
= Excusez-moi (formal)
= Excuse-moi (familiar)
Excuse me, what time is it ?
すみません、今何時ですか。
= Excusez-moi, vous avez l’heure s’il vous plaît ? *
(* this is not a literal translation)

Sorry for making such a long video ! Plus, I made some horrible english mistakes (ts, ts, ts NOT GOOD!)
Trying to explain some french pronunciation rules, taking the word “BONJOUR” as an example.
B = pronounced like the english B (baby/ブ)
ON = French nasal sound, pronounced like in the video at 1:32
“ON” should be pronounced that way when placed at the very end of word or in front of a consonant. In front of B or P, the letter N becomes M.
J = pronounced like in the video at 5:05 (j ≠ dj)!!!
OU = pronounced [ue/ウ] like in “true”
R = See video called “Pronunciation of the French R”:
