 Came in handy! July 25, 2008
My wife and I went to France this past April. I took 2 years of French in high school, 1 year in college, and would have gotten lost in Quebec. So I used a CD review course, and brought this phrase book with us. It fit nicely in my back pocket. We used it alot. It is well organized, and there are some humerous phrases that hopefully I'll never need to translate!

I'm sure this is a good book, small enough to travel with but we didn't use it.

I went to France not knowing any French except what I learned from songs, and somehow I didn't think knowing how to say "fish" and "will you go to bed with me?" would be good enough. This book was really great for a lot of different situations and was way more useful than my friend who claimed to know French from 3 years of high school. The pronunciations were particularly useful, although be careful if you get a "telecarte" as they might sell you minutes on a cell phone you don't have, not a telephone card.

Its OK, I didn't use it too much. Everyone speaks English. Would have been more helpful if I'd went into the more rural parts.

The book is very useful for traveling...as expected from a lonely planet speech book. However, it would be better with an audioguide to pronounce it correctly.
