The one phrase I recomend learning besides bonjour is c'est pas ma faute which means its not my fault [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi Alizee a warm welcom.

"c'est pas ma faute", that just may come in handy..lol

Oh yes....it certainly does lmao

What exactly are you two girls planning to do to warrant having this phrase on standby??? LOL

Alizee love, I love your avatar !! And if I have not said it already welcome to the board !!!

.

LOL.. when you make a mistake or bump into someone you can just say it and see the people's reaction of being confused!


Yeah Alizee's avatar is quite cute and eye catching.

Lol thanks maharani and no I haven't done anything.....today *whistles nonchalantly*

Actually you would say pardon otherwise you'll be seen as rude or from Sweden
Oh but when it is night do not say bon nuit because that refers to you going straight to bed and you are dressed for it lol. I saw a sales lady give a man strange looks for that lol

bonjour is the customary hello and salut is only for friends, close relatives and maybe cloe associates.
See the French culture is very formal and these are things that are ingrained in people from an early age, my father being French I was taught this whicha allows me to fit in when we visit france even though I was born in te states.
The good thing is sinec the french culture is so formal whe you do make friends, which can be quite daunting, they really are good life long friends. Then you can let your guard down and be yourself. It is also customary to frquently call your friends and should they ask for help you almost automatically do everything you can to help.

Did you by chance see that windos comecial where the ladsays salut? lol
if so that was just because its a comercial and they want her to seem inviting so to speak lol

Oh yeah, the Windows commercial I ended up memorizing and not exactly knowing what I was saying, so I wasn't reading the captions much. My guess was that they wanted to give it a twist and show how international their product is? lol

Lolyeah I think so.
I just laugh when they show how they had an epiphany lol

Maharani,

Thanks Very Much

Welcome to the bord.
I too am new but after a few days of reading the many forums I am more informed then I would have gotten on my own.

Hi, welcome all new members and happy to see you.

hello everybody, glade to be here. my real name is Arnold and i am a college student working towards my degree in biology and to perform in the Olympics in 2012.my first lighting experience began 2 years ago just after high school. i regrettably ordered from mono.net since then i have been treading carefully and have not ordered from any body online since 6 days ago from whom i'v done extensive research on, and like most people i'm the type who likes safe products with fast results and no damage afterwards, so i'm going for mequinol and retin a, pictures will follow in 1-2 months on askmehelpdesk and now on this site as well...so thats it, and i thank GG for informing me about the site, it is a god send if their ever was one.
OK OK, i know what your thinking and theres no need for a standing ovation. lol
take care everybody

Hi ! Yes I mean no, glad you like it here and a very warm welcome to you.
