In Paris, here are three quick tips for making new French friends. First, it's important to show respect for the language by beginning conversations in French, even if the only phrase a visitor knows is 'Parlez-vous anglais?' Second, it's helpful to show additional respect by adding a 'madame/monsieur' to the end of a question. Third, the most important word in French is 'Bonjour.' When visiting shops, always say 'Bonjour' when entering and leaving even if visitors leave empty-handed. Use 'Bonsoir' in the evening.
