I used this book as a refresher on french during the flight. It was about the perfect length for a quick review. The pronunciation guides worked for me -- since I have previously taken french classes (although decades ago). I did not try using it as an "on the spot" translator, so can't comment on its effectiveness for that purpose.I found two small but very important typos: 201 and 202 (right and left) are turned around (to the right should be a droite and to the left should be a gauche). Hope they fix this up soon or someone could be sent off in the wrong direction!

Way too many years between studying French and actually getting to check it off my bucket list in April to travel to Paris. This book came highly recommended by my daughter, whom I believe is FLUENT in French. I also sent this book to my sister who is my traveling partner. We both agree that it is exactly what we needed as a refresher that is truely applicable to a traveler.

It is VERY helpful, and very easy to use. I have been learning French using Rosetta Stone. It works well, but I also like to learn more grammar by visualizing it, as well as seeing the phonetic spellings of French language in English. Easy French Phrase Book is organized well and compliments what I have been learning on the computer program. I got one for my daughter to refer to while traveling in France. She speaks English, is fairly fluent in Spanish. This book helps her see similarities among the 3 languages as well as provide a quick, easy reference as needed in a country where she does not speak the language. I also purchased this book in Spanish and am considering seeing if it is available in German and Italian.

no vocab indexdifficult to find the phrase you want at the moment you wantmaybe good for someone who knows zero French but not good for someone who knows some

The book itself is ok but there are so many unnecessary phrases (at least for my use) that I probably would have been better off just downloading a list and making my own short collection of phrases. That being said, it is super cheap so I can't overly complain.

This book came highly recommended, but I will say that it doesn't translate well as a digital book. I may re-purchase as a paperback.

I'm taking a French class at a community college and the course book is $120. I bought the Easy French Phrase Book from Prime for $2.00. I have gotten more out of the book. It provides very useful phrases for travelers. OK, it's not going to give you all the language structure etc. If you need that, spend the money and get the textbook.

Like many others, I studied this on the flight to Paris just to refresh. It would be unweildy to try to whip out during a conversation. It seemed to cover the basics for my needs.
