5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and Concise, April 24, 2001

This review is from: Parlons affaires!: Initiation au français économique et commercial (Paperback)

During the course of a French business class, we used this book as the central text. After that semester, I was sincerely impressed by the cogent and clear explanation given by Berg in this book. It is divided into sections (modules) that facilitate comprehension both at the undegaduate and graduate levels. It is easily divisible, providing lenency concerning curriculum planning and course structure. Perhaps the most striking of Parlons Affaires! is format; it was designed as a prepatory text for the Diplome de francais d'affaires (DFA) administered by the Chamber of Commernce and Industry of Paris (CCIP). In this fashion, the book is indispensable for 1) an introduction into the french business world and lexicon; 2) those who wish to prepare for the DFA; 3) any person desiring a better understanding of french business operations. Finally, I recommend, without reservation, this text. Choose it and you will not be disappointed! Il vaut la peine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tres Bien, April 28, 2004

This review is from: Parlons affaires!: Initiation au français économique et commercial (Paperback)

I used this book in my business French class and I thought that is was a good choice for people with notions of basic French.

It covers the business vocabulary through texts and exercises. That for me was the most helpful part as it gave me a quick overview of the business vocabulary. I was able to incorpate this into my knowledge of French and fake my way through business conversations.

It also gives readers an overview of French traditions, habits, and other quirks, which is both amusing and informative :-)

This product arrived in excellent condition and sooner than promised. It reduced my daughter's anxiety over the start of classes to know she already had her book and at prices lower than the college bookstore.
