Product Description

Product Description

Oh, la vache! Le voleur s′est fait epingler par le flic!

(translation:) Wow! That thief got nabbed by the cop!

(literal:) Oh, the cow! That thief got stapled by the cop!

Sacre bleu! Even after years of trying to learn French, you still have trouble conversing with a native speaker. Why? Because everyday French is filled with slang and colloquialisms. Street French 1 is the first in a series of slang/idiom books that teach you how to speak and understand the real language used daily on the street, in homes, offices, stores, and among family and friends.

Entertaining dialogues, word games and drills, crossword puzzles, word searches, and "inside" tips will have you sounding like a native in no time at all.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is definately for Americans not English, 8 Mar 1999
By A Customer
The synopsis from Amazon gives the impression this book would be good in business situations - it wouldn't. The translations of the French are given in US slang which needs to be translated into UK English. I am very disappointed with this book. It doesn't tell you how to trade insults with French drivers either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful, 19 May 1999
By A Customer
I was dissapointed to find out that this book, without phonetic pronunciations, is virtually useless even to someone whose French is pretty good... If you have never seen or used these words before, I DO NOT reccomend it.
