How to say hello in<br />

France?<br />

Allô<br />

There are two ways to greet each other in<br />

France: shaking hands (usually the right<br />

hand) or kissing each other on the cheeks.<br />

Usually, the kiss is given when you are<br />

already acquainted with a certain person.<br />

When kissing someone, you simply offer your<br />

cheek, giving a real kiss is absolutely inappropriate<br />

(even if you really like the person!)<br />

While in Champagne-Ar<strong>de</strong>nne we give<br />

two kisses, in other regions of France it is<br />

regular to give three or four.<br />

At the butcher<br />

In France, when buying ham or salami you<br />

will have to <strong>de</strong>mand the quantity in<br />

slices not in grams. You can say <strong>for</strong> example<br />

that you want to buy 5 slices of ham.<br />

Hello<br />

Salut<br />
