I'm a high school student studying French and considering doing a year abroad in France in college. One thing I'm really worried about are French manners, and I want mine to be as good as possible before I go over there, so of course I'm going to do tons of preparation and read tons of books on the subject before I go.
My question is, I hear that the French are really insistent on manners at the table and such. Is this true? For example, if I make a mistake will I never be able to show my face in public again? And do you have any tips for me on French manners?
