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

Really love this book. I can now pronounce the words I’m learning. Really improved my French! I’m actually pronouncing the words properly. A must have if you are serious about learning another language.

This French phrase book is useful in that it features many common phrases and has a very good pronunciation guide below each phrase. However it does have some rather stupid phrases "My favorite type of book is novels by Stephen King" or "I would like to invite you to my child's birthday party" which one would likely not be using when traveling. It also sometimes repeats the same phrase in multiple sections.

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.

Great language supplement

It’s okay. A lot of the phrases are outdated and not actual things you hear or use as a traveler in France. It would’ve been nice for my brain had they formatted the book differently too vs. basic print with nothing bolded or spaced intentionally. You’re better off getting the children’s book- Passport’s Language Guides.

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

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.

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.

It was very useful.

Great for the beginner to also learn phrases as learning grammar and vocabulary

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