About French Greetings

French is famous for its emphasis on politeness. A simple 'bonjour' before a question or request is considered essential, and dropping it can come across as rude. Learning a handful of French greetings prepares students to speak respectfully, whether in a classroom, on a trip to France, or in any of the many French-speaking countries around the world.
