3.0 out of 5 stars Nice little phrase book, June 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have enjoyed this little book, but I find that a good, comprehensive French-English dictionary (I use, among others, a Harper Collins Robert French-English College Dictionary) will have more many more idiomatic phrases in it that this book contains.

Still, this is a nice, economical book that is easy to carry and use. Since I have not found many really helpful books of French idions, this was still a pleasant surprise.

However, I would recommend spending the money on a really good dictionary if your funds are limited.

4.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive, September 9, 2007
This book really is extensive in its breadth. It can actually be daunting as a learning tool. As a reference however it's great. If you're looking for Argot or common slang I would suggest Street French I or II, both of which are written in a learner friendly manner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Of some use, February 26, 2011
I'm not too sure whether there is any real advantage in this 'idioms' dictionary / guide in preference to a general, complete dictionary. Most larger dictionaries include the kind of idioms found in this guide. I would also have expected entries to include french idioms that have some circulation in english such as 'faux pas' and others.
