To connect language and culture Tune Up Your French will:
• include body language, such as la bise
• explore alternative meanings of Merci and Je vous en prie
• reveal the various ways to say alors
• tell you to say «s’il vous plaît» to get the attention of a salesperson in a store
• remind you to say «Monsieur!» instead of «Garçon!» to call a waiter
• reveal the unwritten rules about slang
• emphasize French expressions that have a certain je ne sais quoi
• show you how you can make your point in French by saying the opposite of what you mean
• give you a repertoire of mots historiques
• provide the trucs for demystifying the tricks of French

This approach will help you if you studied French grammar and vocabulary but felt as though you couldn’t say anything. You take advantage of the French you already have as you develop your ear for spoken French. The approach encourages you to continue with French by going to French movies, listening to the radio and television in French, learning French songs, traveling in France and the francophone world, and talking with French-speaking people.
