 Gold Standard for Traveler's French - Better With Behind the Wheel French December 18, 2008
I truly love Rick Steve's French Phrase Book & Dictionary. It is so much better than Berlitz. I use it with my all time favorite car French course
Behind the Wheel - French 1.
Great combo.
 Excellent choice October 13, 2008
Of all the French books out there, this one is really very well put together. In addition, there is other helpful information and very user friendly.
So far so good... September 2, 2008
I have yet to put the phrases to use but I feel more confident already...the phonetic pronunciation guides are very clear. The humor and variety make the book easy to read and become familiar with. Thanks also for the hints on manners and realistic expectations.
Helpful and compact September 1, 2008
I speak enough French to survive in France without assistance if I had to, but why do that when I have this handy little guidebook? Seriously, this book brought back to memory much of the vocabulary I learned in high school and college. I didn't really need to use it much, but it was a great refresher. If I didn't speak any French, it would have been a lifesaver. My husband actually referred to the book quite a bit because he doesn't speak French.
 Hard to use June 21, 2008
I would not recommend this phrase book because I found it very hard to access the phrases. It is organized by situations where you would use the phrases, such as counting, traveling, eating, and sleeping. It requires too much skimming and scanning to find what you want to say.
