Build the idea

Start with the essential idea and connect it to language you can use.

French politeness is not decoration — it is structural. Walking into a shop without saying bonjour is genuinely rude in a way that has no English equivalent, and getting this one habit right changes how people respond to you.

Start with the greeting, then the request. Always in that order.
