    About this ebook

    This handbook is the best companion for people travelling to France for pleasure or business, or just want to learn the basics in French, and also important things to know about France and the French people. Written in collaboration with local French experts, it contains carefully selected words and phrases, which will make your everyday communication with the locals much easier, and your stay in France much more pleasant and fun.

    Learn fun facts about the French language, impress the locals with your fluency, understand all the basics in signs (very useful, since many of the museums have signs for their collections that are only written in French), menus and oral expressions, avoid misunderstandings, and of course learn how to communicate in case of an emergency. From basic communication and greetings to expressions for directions, food, shopping, emergency and much more, it will be your valuable companion, accompanying you every day of your stay. All the words and phrases are first given in English, then in French, so you can understand them if you see them written and then phonetically in order for you to know how to pronounce them.

    The Ultimate French Phrasebook is much more than a simple French phrasebook though. It contains chapters with information about France and Paris, things to know about the French language, and even a chapter about 22 interesting facts about French. A final chapter of important things to know and useful contact numbers completes the basic knowledge anyone should have before travelling to France.

    THE MOST PRACTICAL PHRASEBOOK ON THE MARKET
    Would you like to learn flawless French syntax, or basic practical everyday words and expressions that you will use every day during your stay in France?
    Would you like to be able to recite the French alphabet to the hotel owner, or to be able to introduce yourself or negotiate with flawless French accent? If you chose the second option of each of the above two, then this book is for you. The Ultimate French Phrasebook is the most practical phrasebook on the market today. If you had experience with big companies’ phrasebooks, you know that they tend to focus on theory too much and not practicality. “Polar bears live in the North Pole” is not actually a phrase that you will need during your stay in France!! Believe me when I say that some French phrasebooks include similar expressions! Not the Ultimate French Phrasebook

    This book’s aim is to teach you practical everyday words and phrases that you will actually use during your stay in France. Hours after hours of brainstorming, and my team and I have written the most practical phrasebook on the market today.

    WHAT WILL THE ULTIMATE FRENCH PHRASEBOOK OFFER YOU
    If I were a tour operator, I would give this book for free to all of my customers. It should be included in the “must have” before going to France. Why? Take a look on what it has to offer to you and you will understand.

    The Ultimate French Phrasebook will help you:
    - learn important things everyone should know during their stay in France
    - speak French with a local French accent!!
    - negotiate a hotel/room price
    - introduce yourself and have basic conversation in French
    - compliment someone or understand a compliment by someone
    - with your shopping in France
    - order in restaurants and understand the French order menus
    - understand signs
    - learn the numbers in French
    - tell or understand the time
    - in your everyday communication with the hotel/room owner
    - ask for directions or important landmarks like metro stations, bus stops etc
    - understand directions given to you in French
    - be prepared for an emergency in France
    - and much more...
