Smart French has designed a very nice, classy little phrasebook that is extremely handy to use. The book is broken into common situations (like things that could come up in a restaurant, on the street, in the market, etc.) and each situation has between 24 and 36 phrases. The phrases are color coded and numbered and match the included audio files allowing me to listen to each phrase on my mp3 player. I certainly could have used more phrases, but I found the ones that were included are extremely useful and made for quick look-up in the book. I guess too many phrases would have made the book too bulky and difficult to quickly flip through. I actually showed this phrase book to a couple of French friends and they were equally as impressed. The book itself looks good and conveniently tucks flat in my pocket ready for just about any situation. I also found the mp3's to be clear and easy to understand which has helped me with my pronunciations. Over-all the package is fairly priced and I am happy with my purchase.

I like the book, I just feel it should contain more than it does for the price. I am currently doing the beginner for french audio CD's by Christian and I'm enjoying them. Hard to follow him at times, he speaks really fast!

This book is not as described in the other reviews. It looks like someone just printed it off their computer and laminated it. It does NOT have phonetic pronuciation (just some confusing red/black color coding which is not explained), and the online audio tracks are available only for an additional fee. I returned this book and am going to look elsewhere before my trip to Paris.

This is a high end French phrase book built to last. Weatherproof, too. Convenient, smartly laid out, and enjoyable to use. The French is written to show you how to pronounce it as it is actually pronounced by the French. This is its' ultimate selling point. Great product.

This is an excellent tutorial to learn French. I highly recommend it for anyone who is studying/has studied French and wants to know how to *speak* French. It doesn't include grammar. This you will find elsewhere. SmartFrench, unlike other popular teaching methods, teaches how to listen to the spoken French just as it is used in real conversations. I found it to be a great confidence builder.
