The bonjour effect : the secret codes of French conversation revealed

Barlow, Julie, 1968-2016
Books
Julie Barlow and Jean-Benoit Nadeau spent a decade travelling back and forth to Paris as well as living there. Yet one important lesson never seemed to sink in: how to communicate comfortably with the French, even when you speak their language. In this book, they chronicle the lessons they learned after they returned to France to live, for a year, with their twin daughters. They offer up all the lessons they learned and explain the most important aspect of all: the French don't communicate, they converse.
