What is A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi: The Ideal Guide to Sounding, Acting and Shrugging Like the French about?

Vocabulary alone isn't enough. To survive in the most sophisticated - and the most scathing - nation on Earth you will need to understand the many peculiarities of the (very peculiar) French culture. And for that you need __A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi__. If you want to fit in with the French you'll have to know how to deal with sardonic waiters; why French children hate Charlemagne; the etiquette of kissing, joke-telling and drinking songs, what to do with a bidet, the correct recipe for a __salade nicoise__ and, of course, how to convey absolute, shattering indifference with a single syllable (__Bof__!). Charles Timoney, the author of __Pardon My French__, provides a practical, pleasurable guide to the charms of the Gallic people - from their daily routines to their peerless gesticulations, from their come-ons to their put-downs. Read on and put the __oh la la__ back into your French __vacances__. Your inner gaul will thank you for it.
