Episode description
In this episode, we're going to talk about the intricacies of the pronouns "tu" and "vous". Today's title is a bit misleading and I'm sorry about that. My intent isn't really to have a definite guide of the different uses of these pronouns, instead I would like to go deeper into the complexity of French social interactions. These two words really reflect that. Obviously, as always, I'll give you some etiquette tips to behave like a French person, but today is more of a cultural episode.
In this Episode
- Learn when you can say "tu"
- The situation where "vous" is the ultimate insult
- A small etiquette guide to the internet
