The Bonjour Effect: The Secret Codes of French Conversation Revealed by Julie Barlow

4.0

"Language is a matter of national identity in France. In fact, language is so deeply embedded in the French national identity the French don't seem to even consider French as a language among others... (Page 157)" .
I am fascinated by this language, by this culture. Therefore, I found this highly readable handbook, if you will, exactly what I needed to read at this point in my French studies. It manages to be both funny and insightful, as well as educational.
I look forward to reading more by this writing duo.
