Updated with a restyled handbook and improved cassettes, this program serves as a practical introduction to the spoken language for beginning students and helps travelers pick up enough French to find their way when in French-speaking places. The book and two cassettes have six study units that cover meeting people, shopping, getting about in a foreign city, finding somewhere to stay, eating out, and doing business. The two cassettes feature conversations and have timed pauses.

The best travel language tutor for the non-speaker.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting By in French: with Audiocassettes (Audio Cassette)
Unlike Berlitz, which gives you long, wordy sentences to memorize, Getting By In French teaches you quick phrases that the French use themselves, without the excess verbiage. How to understand the responses you will get using keywords is also stressed. I used it to practice for a few weeks before my trip, and it made communication much easier. I even got compliments (!) from the French (!!) in Paris(!!!)!

It Works! Its Easy!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting By in French: with Audiocassettes (Audio Cassette)
Do you need to be spoken slowly to and have everything explained and repeated to learn it? Well, I sure do! Especially when it comes to learning another language and this book does the trick!! Other tapes I tried first made me think I could never learn French... Thank god I tried this one. An Excellent introduction to the language.

Getting By in French,
By Capt. Mike Patterson (Central Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting By in French: with Audiocassettes (Audio Cassette)
I have had many years of French in America which in no way prepared me to speak anywhwere in France...especially in out lying country regions.Formal address of each person is mandatory at all times with proper attire(coat/dress pants/tie/dress shoes for men , skirt/dress and dress shoes for women)will get you every where in France as long as you speak as fast as the tape or faster.I played the tape each day for 2 months and everyone understood me.Eight years of American French will not help without extreme speed in talking. Best intro tape ever,,,don't forget the new Euro. Viva La France and good luck , Capt, Mike
