It was alot of fun

If you could sum up French Phrasebook in three words, what would they be?

Enjoyable, Resourceful and Easy

What was one of the most memorable moments of French Phrasebook?

The list of Do's and Don't in France would definitely have to be the most memorable because I learned so much about the culture and a little about its people.

Which character – as performed by Mariem Nouni and Frederic Bibard – was your favourite?

Both were clear in speaking French and Language. Very easy to understand.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

When in France!

Any additional comments?

I'd been wanting to improve my basic knowledge of the French language and culture for a while now, and this book delivered on both. This truly was an enjoyable learning experience. Not only have I learned new words and phrases but I've also learned about the Do's and Don'ts of when in France. This is such a resourceful and effective book not only for those visiting France but it would work great as in introduction to the French language and culture.

Je parle un français!

I have always wanted to travel to France, however, there is always the communication issue. No matter how beautiful French sounds, I cannot really convince myself that I will be able to learn it. This problem was totally addressed by this book. It may have been intended as a guide for tourists but it gives so much more to the reader. The contents were perfectly presented to help the reader not only be familiar with the language but also learn it. It surprised me that I was actually understanding and speaking French as early as the first chapters. Learning French has never been so easy and quick and it was definitely not boring. I guess I would be booking my tickets to France soon!

Great tool to learn French

This audiobook is a great tool to learn French. Unlike some other French speaking programs I've used, the pronunciation was slow and clear which made it easy to copy. I also love that each word/phrase is spoken in French, English, then French again. This gives you a chance to recognise a French word rather than being prompted by the English version first. I personally think this helps you become more confident with the language. The second half of the book is all of the chapters repeated in French only, again giving you a chance to immerse you in the language and see how much you could understand in France where no one is speaking the English word first!

The only downfall for this book would be that there are so many chapters, which only come up as chapters 1,2,3... if you were using this phrase book while overseas it would take you a long time to know where to look for the word/phrase you need. I would suggest making your own list of the chapter names.
