I signed up for a french language free trial and it says that in France and most French speaking countries it is very impolite to greet a group of people with a single greeting. It gave the example. If I was walking down a street and was to pass by a group of five people standing there, I should not say bonjour to them as a whole, I am required to say it to each, five times total. The example has an audio and it says bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour. And says this is mandatory otherwise it's an insult to the people. Are they for real or is this website misinformed?
