growing

this is
understandable
；

bothered.”You can say
to
yourself

Perhaps
you
have
heard
the
expression“When
in
Rome
，
do
as
the
Romans
do.”So
when
you
want
to
do
business in
France
，
you have to get to
know French culture
，
make
marketing plans
，
and run your
business by local
laws.
The French take great pride in their
language
，
so anyone who does
not speak it may run the risk of being
disrespected by his French colleagues
or business partners.
Also
，
another reason why
learning French is important
is that it
is a great way to show every possible French
business partner that you care and respect their
country's
culture and
language.
The first thing
that you should do when meeting someone new is to
shake his hand firmly and always look at
the person in the eye. In social
meetings with friends
，
kissing is common. Use first names only
after being invited
