Lesson Explanation
In Canadian workplaces, campuses, and service counters, polite greetings set a warm tone. Always start an interaction with Bonjour (during the day) or Bonsoir (evening) before asking a question.
Use vous when speaking with strangers, instructors, colleagues you do not know well, or officials. Reserve tu for close friends, family, and children.
