Useful and fun in Montreal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Used this guide guring 2 trips to Montreal to see the Formula One races. Through six months of studying this book for 10 minutes per day,- and practicing out loud by myself- I was amazed at the new world that this knowlege opened up for me-how friendly everyone was- and how people would "go the extra mile" because I showed the respect for their culture by learning a bit of their lingo.
extremely useful

I went to France not knowing any French except what I learned from songs, and somehow I didn't think knowing how to say "fish" and "will you go to bed with me?" would be good enough. This book was really great for a lot of different situations and was way more useful than my friend who claimed to know French from 3 years of high school. The pronunciations were particularly useful, although be careful if you get a "telecarte" as they might sell you minutes on a cell phone you don't have, not a telephone card.
Excellent Book to get around!!!!!

I was in Paris and with the phonetic pronunciation of phases the Parisians would understand us completely. I was so surprised!!! This book was very helpful and I would recommend it to anybody who needs to get around in France. I just bought the Italian version for my next trip!!!!
Excellent Book!

Right now i am currently studying French independently before i begin a French I class in school. And so far, I find this book to be very useful in using common phrases, as well as having facts about the grammar. And what's great is how this book tells the pronunciation of all the words in its dictionary, and for some reason that is something that many dictionaries lack, considering that the French language has the most difficulty in pronunciation! I wish French dictionaries were that convient. All in all, if you want to learn French phrases, or trying to have a little bit of knowledge about the French language before being taught, or you are already a French speaker and just want to brush up, this book is excellent! Highly recommended.
a big help

This book was a big help to me. I was in Paris for a week and I don't speak French. The menu decoder section and the brief dictionary were particularly great.
