Cultural Tip
In French technical language, ‘monter’ is the preferred verb for assembling hardware (e.g., ‘monter un meuble’), while ‘assembler’ is more generic. If the kit is a software or learning package, you might hear ‘installer’ instead. Also, French speakers often add ‘le manuel’ or ‘le guide’ when giving instructions, so mentioning a manual sounds natural.
