Understanding the French Phrases That Pop Up in English Conversation Add Gallic grace notes to your vocabulary with these witty, informative Knowledge Cards! One side of each card gives a French phrase that's used by English speakers; a phonetic pronunciation helper; and a sentence or two in which the phrase appears. The other side has a direct translation and a definition of the phrase as it is used in English. Look at the front and figure out--from memory, context, or inference--what the phrase means; check your accuracy on the back. You may understand perfectly what au pair means. But if you're like most of us, you may not pronounce it correctly. To supplement the phonetic helpers (e.g., o pehr), you'll find a card with notes on the principles of French pronunciation. You'll be talking like a Parisian in no time. ISBN: 0-7649-1747-1; size: 3 1/4 x 4". |
