Knowledge of foreign languages has long ceased to be a luxury.It is necessary for a prestigious job searches and for a wide dialogue "without borders."No wonder the Russian schools introduced compulsory study of a foreign language with 2 classes, and graduates will become mandatory exam in this subject.Our world does not seem so vast, how he saw our grandparents.People are relatively free to move around the world, mixing up cocktails in fancy ethnic families or corporations.
If you do not even think about global things and trite to come spend a holiday away from home, even it is worth to learn at least the basics of a foreign language, preferably English, which is most common in the world.A self-respecting tourist necessarily seeks to master a minimum set of popular expression, such as "hello", "how are you?", "Good", "thank you", "bon appetit" in different languages.This allows you to look well-mannered man who, even without knowing the language, aims to be courteous, which, in turn, helps to win the interlocutors.And the wish to enjoy your meal in English or another language, makes it possible to establish contact especially lively.After all, at the table, enjoying not only communication, but also from the great food, people are easier to find a "common language" and understanding.
curious that precisely reproduce our phrase "bon appetit" in English is simply impossible.Somehow it is not very accepted for the English coveted of each other.Maybe a healthy person's desire to eat too prudish islanders physiological?Wish to enjoy your meal in English phrase «enjoy your meal» (literally - enjoy your meal), but it is characteristic rather for the American version of the language.I had to borrow a phrase from the British Overseas its neighbors the French, famous joie de vivre.And now, to wish bon appetit in English, you say in French - «bon appétit» (for the sake of justice it should be noted that we have his word "appetite" is also "licked" in French).
other peoples of the world are not so delicate and cold, and all of them are happy to wish each other bon appetit.Using the French «bon appétit» can replace this wish in almost all languages, at least, your good intentions before the start of the meal will be uniquely interpreted correctly.
«Pleasant appetite - and do not chew flies" - Russian proverb.And, indeed, wish to enjoy your meal - this is not a mere formality, it is a kind of ritual preparation of the body to receive food and a good atmosphere is very important to all eaten went for the good (maybe it's the last echoes of the habits of our ancestors to say prayers before eating).The phrase "bon appetit" in English, she said in French or in Russian, in any case, people will adjust to the positive and come back to you kindness of others.
In conclusion, I want to say that to try to make a good impression and to establish good relations should not only foreigners in the society.Do not forget to use the "magic words" and meeting new people, and among his relatives and friends.
