In this video, I use The Bonjour Effect as a jumping-off point to explain the “hidden rules” of French conversation that can really trip up Americans. I like it because it gives you language for what you’re experiencing—like the famous French “no” and the culture of correction—even if I don’t agree with every single point 100%.
