Product Description
Product Description
This text is one of four titles in a relaunched Phrasebook Dictionary series from Rough Guides. It contains tools of the language, French-English and English-French, together with contemporary travel tips, a basic grammar and a menu reader.
Excerpted from French Dictionary Phrasebook: the Rough Guide by Lexus. Copyright © 1999. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
Introduction
The Rough Guide French dictionary phrasebook is a highly practical introduction to the contemporary language. Laid out in clear A-Z style, it uses key-word referencing to lead you straight to the words and phrases you want - so if you need to book a room, just look up 'room'. The Rough Guide gets straight to the point in every situation, in bars and shops, on trains and buses, and in hotels and banks.
The main part of the Rough Guide is a double dictionary: English-French then French-English. Before that, there's a page explaining the pronunciation system we've used, then a section called The Basics, which sets out the fundamental rules of the language, with plenty of practical examples. You'll also find here other essentials like numbers, dates and telling the time.
Forming the heart of the guide, the English-French section gives easy-to-use transliterations of the French words wherever pronunciation might be a problem, and to get you involved quickly in two-way communication, the Rough Guide includes dialogues featuring typical responses on key topics - such as renting a car and asking directions. Feature boxes fill you in on cultural pitfalls as well as the simple mechanics of how to make a phone call, what to do in an emergency, where to change money, and more. Throughout this section, cross-references enable you to pinpoint key facts and phrases, while asterisked words indicate where further information can be found in the Basics.
In the French-English dictionary, we've given not just the phrases you're likely to hear, but also all the signs, labels, instructions and other basic words you might come across in print or in public places.
Finally the Rough Guide rounds off with an extensive Menu Reader, giving a run-down of food and drink terms that you'll find indispensable whether you're eating out, stopping for a quick drink, or browsing through a local food market. bon voyage! have a good trip!

Great Pronunciation Hints,
This review is from: The Rough Guide to French (A Dictionary Phrasebook) (Paperback)
This is a great little book to get you going - mainly because of the useful pronunciation hints. Combine this with the Lonely Planet Phrasebook (which is grouped by topic). I have taken some introductory French courses and find myself using these books as much as the course textbooks.
