[Craig Ferich · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good, small study book, fun and intelligent. I don't use books for face-to-face communication with foreigners, because slow and correct English, pantomime, and a cheerful, humble outlook are better backups. But this book is good for short-notice upcoming situations, and for your ongoing language study. (less)

This will be a great study guide on my (imaginary, not yet booked or able to afford) flight over to Paris.
