Eating and Shopping in France, A Kolibri Practical Guide to Lifestyle, Manners and Language

Product Review (submitted on 14 December 2012):

Learning long lists of vocabulary and conjugating irregular verbs isn't the highest form of fun when studying French, even for even the most ardent Francophiles. However, there is a way to combine the challenging-but-necessary elements of language learning with the more pleasurable aspects of France. The new title Eating and Shopping in France (Kolibri Languages, £17.95) might sound like the latest guidebook to l'Hexagone, but it is in fact a cleverly disguised French language textbook with CD. As well as guiding users through comprehension exercises, pop quizzes and verb tests, this nifty helper includes hints on French culture (including the politest way to cut your fromage), alongside useful words and expressions, anecdotes and idioms.
