French Phrases for Travelers

Saturday April 11, 2009
If you think knowing French is optional before visiting France, think again. Sure, big cities like Paris are filled with people speaking English. Here's the thing. Some of them won't use it if you can't be bothered to use their language. It's a cultural thing. Plus, it's kind of rude to visit another country and expect them to speak your language.

That doesn't mean you need a 6-week French language course before you visit, though. You can actually get all of the very basic essentials with my new tutorial, French Phrases for Travelers. You can even print it up for studying before you go, or for pointing to key phrases when you struggle with the French pronunciation.
