Críticas

"I think your books are wonderful. You have made a fantastic contribution to the French language profession." --- Professor Judy Baughin, Raymond Walters College

"As with your previous book, I am amazed at how fun to read, as well as incredibly informative the book is. It's a wonderful tool" --- Professor Brigitte Humbert, Middlebury College

"I just wanted to let you know that the copy of "Key Words and Expressions" arrived yesterday. I looked through it last night, and I have to say it is just the kind of book I would have liked to have had when I was teaching myself French oh-so-many years ago." --- Professor John Moran, Director of Language Programs, NYU

"I love your books! They are easy to navigate, and they are extremely useful to non-native French speakers. Maybe I'm odd, but I actually enjoy reading them at night in bed before falling to sleep, they're that entertaining." ---- Professor John Turvaville, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

"I've been perusing "Key Words" for the past couple of days and it's great fun. A feature I'm really liking is the focus on the day-to-day spoken language, which doesn't always follow grammar rules. I'm going to think how I could implement some of your expressions into my fall class. What a great idea for a book!" --- Professor Herta Rodina, Ohio University

"Your little books are great!" ---- Professor AG Fralin, Washington and Lee University

"I very much like what you have done with the latest book. The expressions you introduce are so much a part of everyday conversational life in France. Too bad that more French texts don't teach them." --- Professor John Romeiser, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Reseña del editor

This combined book of key words and expressions gives you the absolutely essential words you'll need to know to navigate everyday French conversation. For example, it would be difficult to get through a single day in France without hearing each of the words truc, bise and Pardon! at least once. Well, these words are all here in this book, and lots more, like défense de, foutu, fichu, drôle de, en liquide, and et alors? The use of each is discussed and illustrated with examples. After reading this book, you'll not only recognize these key words if you hear or read them, but you'll also be able to use them correctly yourself. This book will be a pleasure for you. It's one of those rare finds, a book that is both very useful and fun to read!
