ABOUT THIS BOOK French for Tourist, Traveler, and Business Man Do you wish to attain rapidly and easily the ability to pronounce French well, to engage in everyday conversation, to read simple French texts—in short, do you wish to acquire enough knowledge of French to meet your needs as tourist, traveler, or businessman in a French-speaking country? FRENCH MADE SIMPLE is the book for you. The bilingual text which eliminates the burdensome and time-consuming looking up of words in the dictionary, the dialogues dealing with common topics, the word building exercises, the French questions and the answer-key for self-checking, all these will enable you to attain your goal pleasantly and effectively. The important words and expressions and many cultural facts are easily remembered because they appear naturally in a series of conversations between the French teacher Mr. Picard and his pupil Mr. Davis, a businessman of New York, who like you is about to take a trip to France and wishes to be able to get along in French. French for Students Do you wish a thorough grounding in the French language for secondary school or college? FRENCH MADE SIMPLE will enable you to attain your goal. The essential grammatical facts of French grow naturally out of the conversation and reading texts. The facts are clearly explained. Non essentials are omitted. The numerous illustrative drills and exercises, and the answer key for self-checking will enable you to gain a thorough knowledge of the elements of French and lay the foundation for advanced study of the language. FRENCH MADE SIMPLE thus meets the needs of the self-learner, whether his aim is the practical conversation and comprehension ability needed by the tourist, traveler, or businessman, or a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of the French language desired by the high school or college student. It can also serve as an excellent refresher course for those who already have had some study of the language. French Text for Classroom Use Although primarily designed for self-study, FRENCH MADE SIMPLE can serve as a textbook in French classes in secondary schools or college. The material is practical; the conversational approach is simple and interesting; and the cultural aspects are closely integrated with the language elements. The book offers an easy method for acquiring vocabulary, everyday expressions, and even grammatical facts which are generally a bugbear to students. FRENCH MADE SIMPLE is a refreshing change from the conventional textbook with its academic approach and over-emphasis on grammar. —Eugene Jackson —Antonio Rubio
