About this product

Product Information

If you buy into the Pepé Le Pew stereotype of the French - arrogant, stuffy, overly amorous, and rather odiferous (Pepé Le Pew was a skunk. Talk about stereotypical!) - then think again. Not only are the French people some of the most relaxed, pleasant people you'll ever meet, but their society is one of the oldest, most culturally rich societies in the world. So it's no surprise that French is known as perhaps the most beautiful of all languages. Listen to someone speak French - sure, you don't have a clue what she's saying, but aren't you enraptured by the sound of it? Unfortunately, just because a language is beautiful doesn't mean that it's easy to learn. Although French has many things in common with English, French has had many, many centuries to evolve into the language it is today, which means it's had all that time to become more complex. That's where French For Dummies can help. Written in partnership with the language experts at Berlitz, this book can give you what you need for basic communication in French. French For Dummies covers the following topics and more: Basic pronunciation and gestures The nuts and bolts of French grammar Meeting and greeting in French Situations in which you can use French: Making small talk, dining out, shopping, and talking on the phone Traveling to France: Dealing with French currency, staying at a hotel, and getting around town Top Ten lists on ways to pick up French quickly, things you should never say in French, favorite French expressions, and important French holidays to remember. Appendixes with verb conjugation tables, as well as a French mini-dictionary French For Dummies also comes with a CD that has audio transcriptions of all the exercises in the book, so that you can actually hear the French pronunciations. So whether you're taking a business trip and need to pick up a little French quickly; you're cramming for your high school French final; or you've always wanted to learn a new language but don't have the time to drag yourself to a class once a week, French For Dummies can get you well on your way to becoming fluent in no time.

    Learning French is easy with French for Dummies

    I've been using various tools and apps to learn French on my own. After visiting the bookstore and looking through countless Learn how to speak French books, I found French for Dummies to be the refreshing. The book makes the lessons clear to understand and fun.

    Wonderful EXCEPT...

    This is a wonderful book for learning French. The text is easy to understand, the examples are spot-on, and the accompanying CD makes it possible to hear the examples spoken by a native speaker. Unfortunately, the copy I received was missing the CD -- an important part of the instruction. Without the CD, the value of the book is severely diminished.

  • Basic introduction to French

    The book is good reference material. Those who need a quick refresher, the only down side is there was no cd included. So, it wouldn’t be good for a beginner.

  • The language disk was cracked in half

    This would have been a 5star rating.... but the cd was completely cracked thru on one side. Book is excellent. And in good condition, but the cd is kinda essential.
