90+ ways to know you're becoming French


A reader from France, Lisa Vanden Bos, recently sent me a copy of small, illustrated book (and by small, I mean 3 inches square) titled 90+ Ways to Know You're Becoming French.  A couple of my favorites:
  • Start a series by counting with your thumb (as opposed to your index figure)
  • Find nothing wrong with saying in English, "I am here since three years."
  • Know where the "first floor" really is
(Hint on the "first floor": You might want to take the elevator.)

Fun stuff. You can learn more about the book here . The authors operate a website that serves the expat community in France,www.fusac.fr.  You know how I know that they're becoming French? The website ends in ".fr".

Bonne lecture!

  1. Dear William,
    I am taking French film and conversation at Idlewild Books in NYC, and I
    saw your book in the store today. I also bought it.
