Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic ice‑breaker in French culture. The word "super" is informal and popular among younger speakers; in a business meeting you’d likely say "Il fait très beau" or "Il fait un temps magnifique". Tag questions like "non ?" are common in spoken French but can sound overly casual if overused, so match the register to your audience.
