Product Description

Product Description

The grass IS greener with this proverb book, enhanced with mini-conversations on an MP3 disc

Adding proverbs to your language skills opens up a whole new way for you to express yourself. But to translate commonly known proverbs word-for-word from your own language into another doesn't work and may even change meaning all together. 101 French Proverbs with MP3 Disc presents their translations and explains how to use them. Humorous illustrations help you remember the meaning of the proverbs. This enhanced edition contains a 90-minute MP3 disc with 101 dialogues, spoken by native speakers, so you can hear how these are used and practice your own use of these colorful sayings.

Luc Nisset is an accomplished illustrator and materials developer, with experience working with advertising agencies, and the French, African, Dominican, Haitian and U.S. governments, producing health educational brochures and booklets.

overall its a good material. But when I study a language I like to repeat what the speaker has just said. The recording material doesn't allow me to do so

Format:Paperback
The book comes with a CD, on which the French phrase is spoken, followed by the English translation, the literal meaning of the phrase, an English colloquial equivalent, and finally a short piece of dialogue in which the phrase is used. The book essentially serves as a transcript of the CD, with an index containing full translations of the dialogue sections at the back.

It would have been nice to have more text in the book, perhaps some background story to some of the phrases but I guess the whole point of proverbs is that they're largely self-explanatory.

The CD dialogue is spoken at a normal French speaking pace and is not repeated or paused. You will be spending a lot of time precision rewinding and pausing if you want to practice what you hear.
