Summary: Useful and fun in Montreal
Comment: Used this guide guring 2 trips to Montreal to see the Formula One races. Through six months of studying this book for 10 minutes per day,- and practicing out loud by myself- I was amazed at the new world that this knowlege opened up for me-how friendly everyone was- and how people would "go the extra mile" because I showed the respect for their culture by learning a bit of their lingo.

Summary: Handy
Comment: A very handy book to have and also makes for an entertaining afternoon just reading the phrases. If I went on a trip to France, I would definitely take this one.

Summary: Came in handy!
Comment: My wife and I went to France this past April. I took 2 years of French in high school, 1 year in college, and would have gotten lost in Quebec. So I used a CD review course, and brought this phrase book with us. It fit nicely in my back pocket. We used it alot. It is well organized, and there are some humerous phrases that hopefully I'll never need to translate!

Summary: Didn't use
Comment: I'm sure this is a good book, small enough to travel with but we didn't use it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: extremely useful
Comment: I went to France not knowing any French except what I learned from songs, and somehow I didn't think knowing how to say "fish" and "will you go to bed with me?" would be good enough. This book was really great for a lot of different situations and was way more useful than my friend who claimed to know French from 3 years of high school. The pronunciations were particularly useful, although be careful if you get a "telecarte" as they might sell you minutes on a cell phone you don't have, not a telephone card.
