The Collins Phrase books (I have used several of the new editions including French, Spanish and Italian while travelling around Europe) are great. They are easily navigable with colour coding for different sections - all the essentials you need for getting by on holiday - shopping, using transport, accommodation, top tips - my favourite bit though, and that which I couldn't do with out, is the awesome menu reader! By far my favourite part of the any holiday is eating and the format is nice and compact so can fit in your handbag/purse easily. They're really discreet for bringing out at the dinner table, pretty much fitting in your hand, and avoiding the truly obvious tourist look! They're good and cheap too so I will be picking one up for any relevant country I visit.

I wasn't expecting too much when I purchased this, especially at the price, but it proved to be an excellent buy. It is really well thought out, with lots of sections perfect for your average holiday - we used the restaurant and shopping sections on many occasions - the pronunciations are extremely useful as well. The best bit is the size, you can refer to this in a restaurant or shop without looking too obvious. I will certainly be investing again for other languages.

This was so useful on our recent trip to france. Easy to use, very light to carry and the food dictionary in the middle of the book is a life saver when your waiter doesn't speak english. A must have for all those who want to try and speak french but need the support and back up of a phrase book.

French dictionary/phrase book
The item never actually arrived with me prior to my trip to France which was very frustrating. However when I contacted seller I got an immediate refund without any fuss.

Ok if you don't speak a word.
I'll start by saying I think I expected a bit too much of this product. I attempted to use it in France after using the Michel Thomas Foundation Course: French (Michel Thomas... Read more
