Sipping a café au lait at a sidewalk bistro...
Getting down at Paris's hottest club...
Cheering on Les Bleus at the stadium...
Packed with slang words, phrases and expressions not found in any textbook, this fun-to-read handbook teaches the casual, everyday language heard in the cafes, bars, and streets of France. No one actually speaks the formal French taught in school, which makes this book a must-have for anyone looking to chat with the locals without sounding like a robot. This handy phrasebook is perfect for travelers and students who want to fill the gap between the French they are learning in class and what is really spoken in France.
