What our customer's say!

"Excellent choice", Of all the French books out there, this one is really very well put together. In addition, there is other helpful information and very user friendly.

"So far so good...", I have yet to put the phrases to use but I feel more confident already...the phonetic pronunciation guides are very clear. The humor and variety make the book easy to read and become familiar with. Thanks also for the hints on manners and realistic expectations.

"Helpful and compact", I speak enough French to survive in France without assistance if I had to, but why do that when I have this handy little guidebook? Seriously, this book brought back to memory much of the vocabulary I learned in high school and college. I didn't really need to use it much, but it was a great refresher. If I didn't speak any French, it would have been a lifesaver. My husband actually referred to the book quite a bit because he doesn't speak French.

"Hard to use", I would not recommend this phrase book because I found it very hard to access the phrases. It is organized by situations where you would use the phrases, such as counting, traveling, eating, and sleeping. It requires too much skimming and scanning to find what you want to say.

"A Little Book That Helped A Lot!!", Great book! Highly recommended. Easy to use, easy to find the topics you need when you need them. The phonetic words are easy to understand, and are spot on with the real corresponding word (with some other phrase books I have tried, the phonetics were not quite right). There are phrases for real situations, even some funny situations, covering everything from being pulled over by police in your rental car to dealing with pushy street venders (which are abundant in Paris! - which came in handy for us when at the Louvre!). There is a menu and food decoder which we referred to quite a bit so as to know what we were ordering to eat. With this book, we were able to communicate easily everywhere we went: the metro, the train station, eateries, museums, grocery store, and even in the countryside where hardly anyone speaks English.

My Spouse and I were in France last month and I had purchased this book weeks ahead of time and began reviewing the phrases inside. By the time we got to France, we both had learned enough to communicate nicely with the people. In Paris, there are a great many people that speak English, or at least understand it a bit, but it's still nice to be able to say something to them in French even if it's just a greeting. But we stayed in the countryside where English is rare, but we got on just fine at the grocery store, the villages, and the cafes with this little book in hand. The easy to use words and phrases are great in a pinch, but as a helpful tip: Don't just buy the book and wait to use it until your there standing at a ticket booth trying to figure what to say - familiarize yourself with the key phrases that are important to you, and where they are located in the book before you even get on the plane.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"OK book, small and handy, might be good for off-the-beaten tracks in France.", Bought this just before going to Paris for a holiday. Did not use it - as Parisians are really nice and were better at understanding English then we are at French. If I had to buy a phrase book again would buy one with better organization and presentation like the ones from Dorling Kindersley.

"Basic Franch Survival", I just returned from my first trip to France, and found this phrasebook very helpful. The sections were well thought out, and pronunciation guides allowed me to be understood, at least most of the time. Also useful in this guide were tips on how to negotiate French culture. I would have found a small English-French dictionary a good addition, for words not covered in this fairly basic book. However, I was able to shop, talk with hotel staff, dine and even get my eyeglassses fixed using this guide. I would definitely recommend it for those with litle or no
French language skills.

"getting around france", this little book is nicely layed out. Has everything a foreign traveler needs to speak conversational French. Nice and small for the pocket, yet packed with easy-to-find phrases and translations.

"There's a much better phrase book available", After 2 weeks in Paris with this book in hand, all I can say is "what a disappoinment!" I bought this book based on other customer's online reviews, while my husband went to the bookstore, and carefully chose "Lonely Planet" French Phrasebook French: Lonely Planet Phrasebook. The difference was not subtle. The Lonely Planet version is beautifully color coded, for easy navigation, while Mr. Steve's book is simple black and white. Lonely Planet is a tiny bit thicker, but is overall smaller in size (nice for your pocket).

Mr. Steve's provides a small dictionary, lost somewhere in the middle of the book, with no indication of gender, and no assistance whatsoever with pronuncation of said words. The dictionary portion of this book alone, made the guide a complete waste in my estimation.

In addition, if I needed to find a word such as "expensive", it was not in the dictionary portion of the book at all. I assume this is because it was listed in the phrase section under "Le Yin et le Yang". By the time you figure out what section a word might be in, the tour bus has loaded, and departed for it's next destination!

Lonely Planet, and Rick Steve's book are the same price. Don't waste your money on this one!

btw: No, I don't work for Lonely Planet!


"All you need!", Just came back from Paris and Brussels...Perfect and small enough to fit in you pocket.
