Title: Berlitz French Phrase Book (Berlitz Phrase Book) by Berlitz Publishing ISBN: 2-8315-7842-6 Publisher: Berlitz Travel Guide Pub. Date: September, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $8.95 |

Summary: Berlitz makes wonderful phrasebooks, like this French one
Comment: Berlitz makes, in my opinion, the best phrase books around. BERLITZ FRENCH PHRASE BOOK & DICTIONARY is no exception.
Colour-coded for easy reference, the phrase book contains information for any imaginable occurance while travelling in France. Plus, it easily fits into one's pocket.
To deal with tricky French pronunciation, Berlitz gives a phonetic transcription of each word. For those who want to just learn how the language sounds without having to rely on the transcriptions, there's a chapter on how French letters are pronounced.
The guide is inexpensive, too.
If you're going to be travelling to France for a brief period of time and need a simple, clear phrase book, try this one by Berlitz.

Summary: excellent travel companion!
Comment: This phrase book is a must-have for travelling in French-speaking countries, especially if you know little or no French. The book offers helpful phrases (and their pronunciations) and useful advice for many situations, like ordering from a menu or asking for directions. The dictionary is limited - a trade-off for its compact size - but adequate for a visit. As an American working in France, I carry it with me everywhere.

Summary: Buy Two (They're Small)
Comment: Even in the States, I carry the "Berlitz French Phrase Book & Dictionary" with me most of the time. Why you might ask? I love the French language so much that if someone I meet wants to learn it and practice it with me, I end up giving them this little book as a present. Its organization is superb, and you can easily find the section you need, whether it be the most basic French expression, such as "Comment ça va?" or more specialized information, such as a list of foods (look up "pamplemousse"), or how to get emergency help ("au secours!"). The pronunciation guides are pretty good, but the dictionary part is spartan, so I would not rely on it alone for looking up words. On a trip, take along a small "Larousse Dictionnaire de Poche" as well. You may want to add one of the "racier" phrase books from the "Street French" series or "Merde!" or "Merde Encore!" to keep at your place of lodging. As an alternative or as an addition, I recommend "Lonely Planet French Phrasebook," which seems to have more variety in terms of content, but lacks the organization of the Berlitz.
Berlitz has been publishing these phrasebooks in many languages for years, so do not hesitate to buy this classic. Be sure to check for the most recent edition as these books are updated often.
