February 12, 2018It has phonetic pronunciation, which is a necessity I think for a beginning French book and not all beginning French books have this feature.

Ce livre contient quelques phrases utiles, mais il en manque certaines dont la plupart des voyageurs auraient besoin:
"Où se trouvent les toilettes?"
"Dans quelle direction est le ..."
"Je voudrais réserver une chambre pour ce soir ..."
"Je voudrais commander le poisson grillé, s'il vous plaît ..."
Mais c'est peut-être parce que c'est pour les enfants, pas pour les adultes.
Les activités sont agréables, mais moins amusantes lorsque vous lisez seul et fatigué. "J'ai gagné!"
Pourtant, j'ai appris un peu plus de grossièretés françaises: "Qu'est-ce que tu portes?" ;)
This book has some useful phrases, but it is missing some that most travelers would need:
"Where is the bathroom?"
"Which direction is the..."
"I would like to book a room for tonight..."
"I would like to order the grilled fish, please..."
But perhaps that is because this is for children, not adults.
The activities are a nice touch, but less fun when you are reading by yourself and tired. "I won!"
Still, I learned some more French dirty talk: "What are you wearing?" ;)
