3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice little phrase book,
By Brian L "Brian L" (Arizona) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: French Idioms (Barron's Foreign Language Guides) (Paperback)
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.

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.

Of some use,
This review is from: French Idioms (Barron's Foreign Language Guides) (Paperback)
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.
