For [...] I wasn't expecting much, and didn't get much!
The phrases in this book are hilariously outdated and a dead giveaway to the 1960's original publishing date. Such gems as "please lubricate my vehicle", "where can I find an American doctor?" or yelling "garcon!" at a waitor make hilarious reading, but trying out any of these phrases on real French people will get you slapped.

Although this book does contain some useful phrases and an easy breakdown of each word, i have to agree with the previous reviewer in that many phrases are outdated. calling a waiter 'boy!' in england would get odd looks, in france you would be asked to leave. This book is probably best used as a basic reference for those who speak some french already and need to brush up on a few things... just dont shout 'garcon' at anyone ;)
Format:Paperback
This guide was written for the sixties era. Please dont buy this outdated book only if you want a good laugh at how bad it is

Phonetic English for all the key French phrases. Small, slim and easy...
This book is very slim and would fit easily in a handbag or backpack. It also has useful phrases and is well worth a few quid!
