| Cultural Insight |

| Yasmine: When you introduce yourself, it's a good habit to shake hands in France, and if you are not sure whether to use the formal or informal version, just say simply enchanté(e). |
| If you use the correct sentence with French people, they’re definitely going to be impressed! |
