Are the French actually stingy, or is there a deeper reason behind their attitude toward tipping? In this episode of Déjà Vu French, we explore the controversial world of tips (les pourboires).

From the historical origins of the word "TIPS" in England to the modern-day pressure of credit card machines in Parisian restaurants, I share my personal perspective as a former waiter and bartender on why the tipping system might be broken.

In this video, you will learn:

French Vocabulary for Dining: Le pourboire (the tip), radin (stingy), le serveur (the waiter), and la note (the bill).

The History of Tipping: Is "To Insure Prompt Service" a real acronym or just a legend?

Tipping Around the World: Why is giving extra money considered rude or impolite in Japan?

A Waiter’s Secret: A personal story about how tipping creates hypocrisy and inequality in customer service.

Do you think tipping is a moral obligation, or should employers simply pay a fair wage? Does not tipping make you "radin"? Let’s discuss in the comments (in French if you can!).

Why I'm against tipping culture (🇫🇷 Intermediate French Podcast #02)

大家好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，最近火爆的电视剧《苍兰诀》你看了吗？剧里边儿有句台词关于东方青苍：

                        他骨子里仍旧是一个十恶不赦的坏人
                        但唯独在这个什么都不记得的人面前
                                         他想变得好一些
                                              ---《苍兰诀》/<Love Between Fairy and Devil>

He is still an unforgivable villain in his bones, but he wants to be better in front of this person who doesn't remember anything.

骨子里gǔzilǐ：内心 in one’s bones, in one’s heart of hearts 
仍旧 réngjiù：仍然, 还是 still

十恶不赦[shí è bú shè]: 赦意思是赦免[shè miǎn]remit(a punishment), pardon 
十恶不赦是形容犯了重大的罪行，而不能被饶恕。
perpetrate every conceivable crime and be unpardonably wicked; a crime which is past forgiving

唯独[wéi dú]：单单,只only
在……面前[zài … … miàn qián]：in face of, in front of

今天是4月3日，星期六，天气晴
今天，女儿从学校放学回家，说只有一项（xiang4, measure word) 作业，就是画画，画一张画，我的梦想(meng4xiang3, wishful thinking)。画完后，她把画给我，妈妈请你拍照(pai1zhao4, take photo)，然后发(fa1, to send to)给老师吧。她很开心, 看起来很喜欢那张画。我想她可能画了医生，因为她一直说长大以后要做一个医生。结果一看，根本不是医生，而是一片大海。
海上有一只美人鱼。公主的身体，鱼的尾巴，颜色很漂亮。海边还有一座小岛，岛上有一棵大树，海里画了不少的鱼，各种各样的。海底呢，还有一个箱子，里面有宝石（bao3shi1, precious stone）。
我觉得很奇怪，不知道她画了什么梦想。我问她说：老师说要把自己的梦想画下来，从这幅画里，我看不出你的梦想呀？然后，她指着(zhi3 zhe, to point to)那只小小的美人鱼说：这就是我的梦想。
“什么？你的梦想是做一只美人鱼吗？”我有点惊讶呀：“为什么呀？”
女儿看着我说：“因为美人鱼不用每天洗头和洗澡呀！”
可是你要怎么和老师说呢？这可是作业！
我哭笑不得(ku1 xiao4 bu4 de, find sth. both funny and annoying)，你就这么不喜欢洗头和洗澡呀？但是你的想法真的是好可爱！好吧，真的是我自己亲生的，好像我小时候也不喜欢刷牙和洗脸。
那么，你小时候有没有什么特别可爱的事情呢？

Conversation about Songkran Festival

If you’re learning English in order to better your job prospects, the chances are that at some point you’re going to need to understand and employ a more specialised vocabulary.

Working in a business environment will expose you to a raft of new words that don’t tend to be covered by standard English as a Foreign Language courses. In this episode, I will explain some of the words and phrases you can expect to hear in an office, including both official terms and the so-called “office jargon” that has crept into use in the 21st-century workplace.
