FRENCH ARE RUDE ?
True or False
No, of course (maybe a little)
• We don’t smile every time, it doesn’t mean we are
rude; it's simply the way of the French
• There are few magic sentences (we’ll talk later)
FRENCH DON’T LIKE AMERICAN
True or False
NOT, AT ALL
FRENCH STINK
True or False
Why ?
FRENCH WOMEN ARE TOPLESS AT
THE BEACH ?
True or False
No, but it’s not forbidden
• Sorry, no picture…
YOU HAVE TO SPEAK FRENCH TO
VISIT
True or False
False, but you have to know some
sentences
• Try to start a conversation by some basic french
:
– « Bonjour! Parlez-vous anglais? » (pronounced bon-
jouh, pah-lay vooz ahn-glay) is a good start.
• Always greet someone with « Bonjour » before
asking anythings
– In France, it is considered rude to not start with
« bonjour »
• Know the « merci »
– It’s mean « Thanks » and it’s very appreciated
(coffee price can doubled if you omitted this word)
FRENCH NEVER WORK
True or False
Ok, there is strikes, and the 35h but
• we are the most productive people in the
world
• France GDP/Capita/Hour is $25.10
• Thus Americans only achieve $24.60 of
GDP/Capita/Hour.
• $0.50 GDP/Capita/Hour may sound small at
first, but add that up across millions of people,
and a few decades…
• It's about working smart... and less
