I strongly suggest this book. It is concise, and both the style and format make it a valuable tool for learning. I speak French, and also work in the Travel Industry - I have found this book to be a wonderful aid to speaking the "jargon" of my industry as well as learning new terminology that one does not come across everyday. I have other books in this series, and have found them to be equally as helpful. It would be great if they had titles on every possible subject. Another great component of this title is the suggested learning techniques provided in the introduction. They are very easy to follow, and seem to offer the most clearcut way to utilizing the book. It's obvious that a great deal of time and research went into not only the material in the book, but its presentation. Thank you!!
