minus-squareCubitOom@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 day agoI was told my pronunciation was fine but what gave me away as an American was how long I took to say bonjour.
minus-squareAxolotl@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·edit-21 day agoNow i wonder how long you take to say bonjour
minus-squaresnooggums@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·24 hours agoI’m hoping they draw it for about 5 seconds like I do.
minus-squareCubitOom@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·24 hours agoNormally, at about 10 feet away I try to make eye contact and smile/nod during approach, then I’ll verbally greet at about 5 feet away. This was something I learned while working at a resort and it stuck with me. By American standards, this is considered fast and early.

minus-squareCheesus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 minutes agoYup, can confirm. Also, if it’s past 6 pm, make sure to switch to ‘bonsoir’. If it’s someone I know, I just say ‘salut’. It’s way more casual, and can also be used as goodbye to boot.
