Summary: 4 Stars
"Beginner's guide to French"(Fun Fax) is a nice little(very little) pocket book that is meant as a supplement to anyone taking a course in the French language, or for just times when you need a word or two, or a phrase to help with a writing project, directions, or maybe even ordering in a French restaurant. It's a very beginners level guide, that will give you just a little help in understanding the very basics of the langauge.
The book is sectioned into Grammar, Phrases, Names, Numbers, Accent, and Description. There is also a couple of pages of pronunciation. You won't get a complete course in these groupings, just a bit of everything. Grammar will give you an idea of which nouns are feminine(la) and which are masculine(le), when you hear the words spoken. Commonly used words and phrases for asking questions are presented. How are you?, Very Well..etc. Family members, things around the house, asking the way, and at the airport and cafe might be pages that will come in very handy. Colors, days, dates, shopping, weather and several other events are covered.
Illustratins of people having various conversations are shown, with translations, and pronouns are touched on as well. As for the pronunciation, the basics are given, vowels, "eau"..like the 'oa' in coast, and some others, but the best way to learn this is to try and find a French person and copy their accent.
The words and phrases are shown with the proper accent marks, which is nice if used for writing, and the pages have holes punched and may be removed and used in a Fun-Fax Organizer
Recommended as a nice little item to get you started, and to have at your fingertips when needed, but don't plan on having any major conversations. Add to your cart, when you need just that little bit more for free shipping. A small price for a very helpful book.
Bien s'amuser...enjoy yourself..(from the eating with friends section).....Laurie
