Easy French Phrase Book

Lingo Mastery continues to be a valuable resource to make French more accessible to a wider population. Following in the style of French Words in Context, French Short Stories, and Conversational French Dialogues this new volume of 1500 French Phrases is full of new vocabulary to enhance communication. In the Introductory Note the goal is stated well: ‘If you have finally decided to visit France, one of the richest countries in history and culture, then you can’t help but consider the words, phrases, and ways of saying things that you will use in certain situations, which you must know before leaving. This is all the more important since the average awareness of English in France is not that good, compared to other countries. Thanks to this book, we will see how to deal with many situations can be simple, complicated, funny, or even not funny at all – all those real situations that a tourist will experience when, for example, they are seeking activities to do, order a perfectly cooked filet mignon in a restaurant, or simply don’t want to be bothered.’ What follows, before the phrases placed here to learn, is a fine lesson in pronunciation of vowels, consonants, the importance of stress and intonation, and then the supply of valuable lessons begins – colors, numbers, greetings, date and time, common questions, medical, ordering food, transportation, religious questions, emergency, technology, conversation tips, date night, money and shopping, children and pets, traveler’s guide, directions, apologies, small talk, business, the weather, hotel, sports and exercise – all spelled out in accessible format with French to English translation to correct pronunciation for learning. And so it proceeds with one of the more accessible adjuncts to mastering the Italian vocabulary in a manner that places words in context and thus – easy to remember! The technique is solid and the lessons well taught. This is a very fine continued introduction to French, a book much needed at this time in our national status! Grady Harp, February 20

Great language supplement

There are a lot of useful phrases that would be helpful traveling. Having specific sections is very helpful. I do like the pronunciation under each phrase. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if it included a CD just for the pronunciations. However, for the price, it is a worthwhile book.

Great tool for learning French. Well put together and seems to have helped me. I've used this for quiet a while at this point. I think writing down helps.

The pronunciation guide at the beginning of the Book is very comprehensive and covers all the vowel and consonants plus every dipthong and French sounds you have to know to be well understood. I am using this part of the Book now as a refresher course to brush up on my pronunciation even though I now speak French at an intermediate/advanced level. Worth having just for this part alone. Each phrase also has an excellent pronunciation phonetic also. The topic guide is well thought out and intuitive to use, and I am sure will cover most any situation you are likely to encounter traveling in France. The problem you might have is you will learn how to sound French and when you ask a French person something out of the phrases they might think you understand French better than you do and start jabbering away back to you "full speed and accent ahead"! So learn the phrase "Parlez lentement s'il vous plaît !" ( please speak more slowly) :) I fully recommend this book for any one wanting to learn French, especially for travel.

It says "Over 1500 common phrases" which is not true as they repeat a great many of them. And the phrases themselves are embarrassingly American i.e. questions or issues only Americans could think of like, "My dog is depressed". Really? That is what I need to know when visiting France? The size it too large for travel as well. The introduction on pronunciation is really the only thing I found helpful.

Oh wow I love the fact that, this book provides the everyday Phrase I need to construct a good communication in French.. I highly recommend 🥰

Purchased for my son I'm sure he loves it.

Livro de estudo da língua francesa, prático e de boa qualidade de impressão.

Thought there will be proverbs along with phrases.... but ain't there. Not very useful. Overall a good book.

A handy little book to do some quick studying before you go to France

I like that its format is simple and structured with pronunciation of each French word

Ist noch chr. so aufgebaut, wie ich es mir gewünscht hätte. Man kann eben nicht 🧐reinschauen - so wie beim guten alte Buchhändler 🥲
