Why have some French? You may be told of a cosy vineyard way off the tourist track, or discover that there’s little merit in the stereotype about the French being rude. French is the official language of a number of international organisations (including the UN and the International Olympic Committee). French films are internationally renowned, and France has won the Nobel Prize in Literature more times than any other country!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Purchase for travel to France!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013

I recently spent two months studying in France. My significant other accompanied me, but hardly new a sentence beyond, "Bonjour," "Je ne sais pas," or "je parle un petit peu de francais." We were staying in Angers, a small town that has almost zero English spoken, so I purchased this book for him in hopes he'd be able to get by easily enough when I wasn't around to translate.

The book is amazing, he loved it. Small enough to fit in his pocket, had a phonetic pronunciation guide, color coded and had everything he needed. Worked terrifically when at the market, ordering food, and even at the pharmacy. He was able to communicate with ease and without embarrassment.

Highly recommend for anyone traveling to France.

4.0 out of 5 stars somewhat handy but sort of random
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

some aspects of this book were really helpful for my recent trip to paris. the food dictionary, for one, and the general conversational guides and lists of common vocabulary were useful. however, some of the categorical "helpful phrases" were random and weird. some of them seemed like jokes... funny, but unnecessary and a waste of space in what is supposed to be a versatile guidebook. there were many pages i never even had to look at. however, the small size was ideal, the organization mostly made sense, and i did use it frequently on my trip.

A great French phrasebook and dictionary. Whether you're just starting to learn French, brushing up, or you're going to Paris and you want one book to carry around this is it.
It is helpfully organized into different parts (practical/ getting around, social, safe travel, food, the basics, etc) so you can hone your learning to one section before moving on. The book itself is small enough to carry while strolling down the Champs-Élysées or walking up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. It is constructed well enough so it's not going to fall apart after a week or two of being tossed in/ out of bags. The dictionary is good but obviously doesn't have every word in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good phrase book, but no substitute for some prolonged study prior to traveling
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
English is my native language and I speak fluent Spanish, but I thought i could get along in French with a good phrase book. This book is pretty good as far as that goes. Still, if you plan to travel in Europe, it may help to learn a bit of the language well in advance of your traveling. Many people spoke English in Paris (since there are a lot of Brits and Americans traveling there), so we got along pretty well with our bits of French and the phrasebook.

I went to France not knowing hardly any French, and this book came in handy many times. It was fun to pull out when we were at dinner and to try to engage with the serving staff in French. It is small in size which helped me fit it in my purse while we walked around the city. The phrases included in the book are very helpful (and phonetic guides are great too) and allow you to learn fun ways to talk to the French. I would highly recommend this as a survival book while traveling if you do not know the language.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but didn't need it
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
There are some great phrases in this book, ones that I would never use, except to laugh with my friends about. How to say drunk phrases and "dating" phrases. I think I used about 5 pages total in this book and not because it's a bad book or not well written but really just because I didn't need it when in France. If any of the people actually do talk to you, most of them will know enough English. Know the key phrases and you'll be fine there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not the best one out there
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013

Just took this along on a trip to Paris. It was somewhat helpful but there are better ones available in my opinion. I did like the size as it was small and easy to carry. Many times we tried to look up something (particularly food prep items) and couldn't find any reference in this book. These were common items in France and I think the book should have had them included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little phrasebook!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013

Lonely Planet products tend to be reliable and this phrasebook is no exception. It is well-organized, tastefully designed and surprisingly detailed. It has everything a phrasebook ought to have and it is easy to use. Also, it is a nice, unobtrusive looking thing, which is important if you want to avoid signalling to the world around you that you are a vulnerable foreign tourist. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this.... don't bother looking for any other phrasebook!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
These Lonely Planet Phrasebooks are the best books ever! They are great for learning how to speak correctly (pronunciation) and for using slightly unusual phrases. At school, we were always taught to say, "I would like..." in French, but this also teaches you how to say, "Can I have..." I like these variations, which means my children are learning slightly different ways to say similar things. They were complimented on their understanding and pronunciation of words and phrases when speaking both French and Spanish. I also like the sections in the books, which are organised and separated very well. Plus, at the back of the book there is a place where you can look up English words to the translation and vice versa! At the front, there is a bit about tenses, male and female and how particular letters alter sounds depending on what letters they are with. I will never buy another brand of phrasebook again. These books are very compact, but covered everything I needed and more.
