      INTRODUCTION

      Concise yet informative, French to go is ideal for weekend visits to la belle France – a regular glance at the contents of this pocket-sized book will ensure you’ll never be lost for words.

      Clear and precise, the pronunciation that follows each French word and phrase has been devised to simplify the French language for the English-speaking user, with the aim of producing more relaxed and flowing conversations with the people you meet.

      Make the most of your French adventure with French to go – whether you’re making a hotel reservation, finding your way to the beach or chatting up the locals, speaking French has never been easier.

      NOTE ON PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION:

      When you see a ‘ñ’, you should nasalize the vowel before it and not pronounce the ‘n’ itself. For example, ‘man’ would be pronounced as in the familiar French word ‘fin’, rather than the English ‘man’. All nouns in French are preceded by a masculine or feminine article. When you see a noun with an alternative ending in brackets, this indicates the feminine or plural of the word. Nouns in the vocabulary section also carry their gender articles.
