Your French Friends Will Love This Book,
By
This review is from: Le Gimmick: FranCais ParlñE (Hardcover)
This is a great book if you're a notch-above French speaker and ready to learn some rich, colorful French slang. I got a lot of mileage out of Le Gimmick when I was a student in Paris in the 80s. It has a wonderful compendium of French slang terms translated from English to French and vice versa. My French friends enjoyed learning colloquialisms like "If my Aunt had some she'd be my Uncle." The whole thing is eminently readable and you wind up learning a lot along the way. Completely worth the money.

Unforgetable Approach At Learning French,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gimmick I: Français Parlé (The Gimmick Series) (Paperback)
Humorous and Educational Approach in French . There are phrases I may never use,but one day may find handy. The choice is there as to what I chose to learn and utilize. Thank you for the possibilities and the humor. People at the beach to this day are wondering what was so funny in your book.Especially a French instruction book.Learning is never dull ,nor need be, and either is this book.

Le Gimmick - Francais Parle,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gimmick I: Français Parlé (The Gimmick Series) (Paperback)
The publication was in excellent condition when I received it. I like this particular edition because the author gets right to the point - the French that is currently spoken. Although this initially was written a few years ago, the information is still very current.
I am very pleased. P.S. I teach a class called "French for Travellers" and this book has come in very handy. Harriette McCauley
