Collins continue to build on the strength of their phrase books by improving and updating their highly successful Phrase book and Dictionary series. This new edition will contain a photo-key section illustrating signs and other practical and useful information.
Previously `three books in one', the new series will contain `four books in one' - a phrase book, a food guide (with menu reader ), a dictionary, and now a photo-key guide showing signs and practical, useful, visual information.
The phrases are short and easy to use. The language reflects everyday speech - there are no lengthy sentences to struggle and sweat over. The phrases have a simple guide to help with pronunciation. There are also practical tips. The clear 4-colour layout allows easy access to key information.
Collins Phrase Books aren't just for emergencies. They are designed to allow you to get the most out of your visit abroad: from sampling the food to getting the best deals on public transport.

Amazon review for the previous edition
A great little pocket-book!, 7 September, 2000
Collins have come out with a brilliant little phrase book for getting by in France and French-speaking regions. It makes it easy to pull out of your handbag or jacket, and quickly find out what it is you're about to embark on, gastronomically, socially, or physically. Sections include sight-seeing, shopping, food, drink, phoning, emailing, hotel, travelling, and a whole lot more. Plus there's a section at the front for key phrases, and both a French-English and English-French dictionary at the back. All this in under 200 pages ... grab it and go French!
