Building Bridges of Understanding with the French-Speaking People in Europe.
Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT. Language Research Center.
This book attempts to provide cultural information that will enable an American to communicate effectively with French-speaking people of Europe. The book discusses differences between American and French culture in such areas as food, laws, customs, religion, language, dress, and basic attitudes. Background information is given on France, Beligium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg and on the characteristics of their people. Short cultural notes on such topics as shopping and the postal system are followed by "survival phrases" and a translation of common signs, clothing sizes, and weights and measures. A brief bibliography completes the volume. (CFM)
