French Vocabulary

The hardest part about learning French on paper, is not knowing how to verbalize it. This one has pretty good descriptions, but it isn't an entire dictionary. Useful and pocket-sized.

This book is a great thing to have because it covers all different topics and situations which might come up while traveling. It is very useful.

I find this to be a compact, organized way to take my learning of French vocabulary with me. I think that the organization of the subjects is done well. The vocabulary coverage is rather comprehensive and the author has clearly gone out of his way to include vocabulary which is needed to read newspapers & magazines or express more advanced concepts, not just the vocabulary learned in the first 2 or 3 semesters of college French. On an added note, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the paper that was used for this text. Too often, I have purchased easily portable texts like this only to find that the paper is too thin to sustain any reasonable wear. A very pleasant surprise!
