French Phrasebook for Tourism, Friendship & Fun by Mathieu Herman and Robert F. Powers is a fresh, new look at providing basic French vocabulary and phrases for anyone interested in the language. Beginning with an explanation about how to use the book, this French Phrasebook is conveniently set up in alphabetical format with plenty of options for the most common expressions. Another excellent feature of the book is the separate food and beverage section so that anything related to a menu is easy to find. The individual appendices clearly present basic facts and information such as the alphabet and pronunciation, conversions for weight, measurement and temperature from the metric system, and the words and phrases related to telling time and identifying dates. The simple grammar explanations help to understand ‘why’ things are said a certain way and provide a starting point for more in-depth study of the language.
Unlike a regular dictionary, the French Phrasebook for Tourism, Friendship & Fun provides a wide range of language choices that are the most useful for situations encountered by travellers. This eliminates the need to sort through unnecessary options or pages of technical terms so that you can quickly converse with native speakers while traveling. This easy to use format is less cumbersome than traditional phrase books or dictionaries and can be accessed anywhere. Modern expressions are translated into French that best copies the sense of the phrase so working with your own usual language is simple – you don’t have to change your thoughts into ‘academic’ English to find a French equivalent. This is a great asset to travellers, so Bon Voyage!
