How to Deal With People

Since you are in a foreign country, you need to get accustomed to the new people around you. The best way to go about is to greet people by smiling and saying bonjour.

If you are visiting a restaurant and want to order something, you should simply say “Je voudrais…” (“I would like…”).

Another important thing that you must keep in mind is that there is no service class in France and no one is there to serve you anything. The waiter will bring you food but they are not in service to you. Be polite to everyone at the restaurants and always end the conversation with thank-you (“Merci”) and good-bye (“Au revoir” – ahv-wah).

In tourist areas like Disneyland there will be people who will speak English and will be there to help you out. Another important thing that you need to be aware of is that the French are generally quite people, so keep your conversation to yourself at Disneyland and in the coach.
