"All the English speakers, or almost all, have difficulties with the gender of words."
Humility
"It is very difficult to generalise. Everyone's adventure is original."
Adventure
"You get the feeling that many of my guests feel that the French language gives them entry into a more cultivated, more intelligent world, more highly civilised too, with rules."
Emotional
"The more English is heard in the world, the more gratifying it seems to speak French, and above all to know the culture of our country. They find a kind of French social grace in the language and culture."
Nation
"People who do not speak our language very well do complain of feeling rebuffed by French people, who can sometimes be impatient, or even intolerant."
People

Communication
