You Talking to Me?

Ever get this feeling when you speak to French people?

Keep it to the point! That's what the French do (honestly, they're not RUDE, they're just concise). However, NEVER, EVER, forget the sacrosanct "Bonjour Madame/Monsieur".

So instead of saying it the long-winded English way: "Excuse me, really sorry to bother you, but would you mind awfully, telling me the way to the post office please, if it's not too much trouble? Thank's ever so much." Rather say: "Bonjour Monsieur/Madame, la poste s'il vous plaît ?"

Tadaah!
