Publisher's Summary

Do you get frustrated when you're on vacation and you can't make yourself understood ? Or maybe that you'd like to be appreciated by the locals and your family for making an effort? Maybe you don't want to come across as "that guy"; who thinks everyone should speak English? If any of these apply to you then keep listening....

I was that guy once. We went on vacation to Costa Rica, and in the more remote places we went, not a single person spoke English. I ended up miming things to bemused locals, or saying English words really slowly, and I felt really dumb, and by the end of the trip I vowed I wouldn't put myself in that situation again.

So I decided to create vacation phrasebooks. I speak fluent French, so on one of our vacations there I wrote down every phrase I used. What I said in the bakery, at the hotel etc. They are all in this book,

In large parts of France where they don't speak English, the reception you get in the restaurant if you say "Bonsoir, avez vous une table pour quatre s'il vous plait?" instead of mumbling in English, is night and day.

Imagine how you'll feel coming back from the market having bought some good stuff, speaking nothing but French, with your family looking at you in a new light.

  • How to order a beer like a local
  • What people will ask you at the car rental check-in
  • How to book a table for dinner
  • What the waiter will definitely ask you
  • How to ask for a late checkout
  • What people will ask you in supermarkets
  • How to not get lost
  • How to ask for the wifi code (hint - it's not 'wifi code')
  • And much, much more

So what are you waiting for? What price confidence and an even better vacation, all for a few dollars? Go for it, hit the "Add to Cart" button, and start your (short) journey to confident French speaking.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
