A culture lives in the things people say to one another. Wandering the city with no destination, the joy of reuniting with someone after a long time, the simple finality of “there it is” — French has a name for each of them. And once you know those names, you no longer wander France as a tourist. Inside this book are 111 words and phrases: what each one means, how it feels, when it's said, and how it sounds.
