This pack containing a Gem Phrase Book and CD provides the opportunity to hear and practise the language. The phrases are kept short and simple so that by listening two or three times, you can pick up the essentials of the French language.

Collins Gem Phrase Books are designed for ease of use, with practical, flexible phrases that can be adapted to suit the needs of the traveller. But often, its not the question thats the problem, its the reply. The CD which accompanies the Gem Phrase Book addresses this problem.

Along with the key phrases you need to get by simple, to-the-point and polite the CD gives you an idea of what the shopkeeper, the waiter, or the passerby you ask directions from may say to you.

This volume uses this unique approach to teach the reader (and listener) French quickly and effectively.
