Learning how to behave at the dinner table is my biggest challenge. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you are not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You are supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now I’m used to it. Another example is that you are not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. It’s impolite to say you are full. If you don’t want any more food, you should say，“That’s delicious.”Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange any more.
