Use of "Salut" in First Lesson
Sorry if this has been covered before but I thought "Salut" was only used with family/friends. I understood that "Bonjour" was the usual greeting. Is "Salut" more common now? Bit confused. Appreciate any help.
Salut PrivateRadiator,
you are correct :
The French use bonjour which can mean hello, good morning, or good afternoon. Bonsoir is used to greet people after dark. Salut is an informal greeting used between friends, it's like saying hi in English.
You can find a better explanation of the French greetings in the culture session of the lesson 1.6.
I hope this helps

salut, i am enjoying the lesson, hope i catch up to speak french better.
Robin - if you use "Bonjour" you cannot be wrong or considered impolite, whether to a stranger or a friend, whereas "Salut" might cause a slight offence.
So my advice would be save "Salut" for when you know someone well and have started to use the "Tu" forms and remember it is like an English or American "Hi".
Hope this helps.

Bonjour à tous!
Merci beaucoup to everyone who has had input in the explanation of the difference between 'Bonjour' and 'Salut'. If you don't know what to say, then use 'bonjour' as you will never be considered rude using this greeting. 'Salut' is an informal greeting used for people you already know or often between younger people such as teenagers (even if they don't know each other).
If you cannot access lesson 2.1, then I would first ask if you have only signed up for the free trial or have bought Rocket French Premium?
