parlez-vous français?

rapport - pronounced rap-pore, refers to "agreement; harmony; relationship; connection with people as to have a good rapport (not to confuse report) with other people or nations."

usage examples:
1. it is important that we maintain a good rapport with the McColls, as they have been very generous in their support over the years.
2. his negligent actions damaged both his own and his company's rapport with many clients.
3. janelle felt it was important that she pursue a rapport with the museum's curator, as she hoped to work with him someday.
