Resumen del Editor

Do you get frustrated when you're on vacation and you can't make yourself understood ? Or maybe that you'd like to be appreciated by the locals and your family for making an effort? Maybe you don't want to come across as "that guy"; who thinks everyone should speak English? If any of these apply to you then keep listening....

I was that guy once. We went on vacation to Costa Rica, and in the more remote places we went, not a single person spoke English. I ended up miming things to bemused locals, or saying English words really slowly, and I felt really dumb, and by the end of the trip I vowed I wouldn't put myself in that situation again.

So I decided to create vacation phrasebooks. I speak fluent French, so on one of our vacations there I wrote down every phrase I used. What I said in the bakery, at the hotel etc. They are all in this book,

In large parts of France where they don't speak English, the reception you get in the restaurant if you say "Bonsoir, avez vous une table pour quatre s'il vous plait?" instead of mumbling in English, is night and day.

Imagine how you'll feel coming back from the market having bought some good stuff, speaking nothing but French, with your family looking at you in a new light.

• How to order a beer like a local
• What people will ask you at the car rental check-in
• How to book a table for dinner
• What the waiter will definitely ask you
• How to ask for a late checkout
• What people will ask you in supermarkets
• How to not get lost
• How to ask for the wifi code (hint - it's not 'wifi code')
• And much, much more

So what are you waiting for? What price confidence and an even better vacation, all for a few dollars? Go for it, hit the "Add to Cart" button, and start your (short) journey to confident French speaking.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great

I've been planning a trip to France for a little while now and I found this book to be perfect for my soon to be journey.

Learn French for Vacations while you drive

This is an absolutely great find in audiobooks for learning languages. The common phrases are the best and most used in each setting. The best part of all is the audiobook also comes with a downloadable PDF of the audiobook to help you follow along and get more practice. It was fun listening to it with my kids and learning together.

Great Book!

Very informative with a lot of wonderful great information. 3 reasons why you should buy this book;
The first reason is that it's not trying to teach you to learn all of the language, but just the bits you are actually going to need
The second is that it is structured in a way that you will need, so it starts at the airport, then goes on to car hire, then hotel, then restaurant etc, ie the way you will travel when in the country.
And the third is that the phrases have all been gathered through experience, so the author is confident that these are the phrases you're actually going to need.
In this way you can print out the pdf and if you can't remeber the relevant phrase off the top of your head you'll easily be able to find it in the document.
Thoroughly recommend!!
