The Pocket Idiot's Guide to French Phrases, 2e

Be wary of the review written by Christoph [sic], who doesn't know how to write his own first name in French! It's Christophe. Although there may be typos in this book (hard to avoid in a language book), the phrases are current, useful, and grammatically correct. The book uses standard French from France (Canadian and Haitian French may differ slightly) and was tech edited by a well-educated, fluent, French-speaker from France, as are all the French language books produced by this publisher. People who don't know a language well shouldn't write reviews of language books.
