This is the way forward: When you are thinking about what to say next, punctuate your sentences - instead of with umm - with "baahhh" ... <br /><br />When considering which particular cake to take at the boulangerie, you must definitely pout. Don't say please. Oh and don't say I would like (je voudrais) but I take (je prends).<br /><br />Then whenever you leave, there must be a spoken word of departure such as "Merci, bonne journée" or "merci bonne soirée" or "merci, bonne fin de journée" (for the moments where it's not late enough to say have a nice evening but too late to say have a nice day)...<br /><br />I pull faces differently in france... And laugh differently in French... Definitely more than just words!!Bekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270193751040300503noreply@blogger.com
