French for Dummies offers an easy and entertaining introduction to the French language. First, the authors reveal how to correctly pronounce and stress French words and also introduce you to the basics of French grammar. Then it gets practical, because each chapter deals with an everyday situation: you learn how to introduce yourself in French, how to order in a restaurant or how to ask for directions. You find yourself in a typical office environment, arranging appointments, renting an apartment, or booking a flight. But your free time is not neglected either: you go out with friends, go shopping, talk about your hobbies and do sports. You will always record the most important sentences, paraphrases and terms and you will also receive a lot of information about everyday life and culture in France. At the end of each chapter there are small exercises that you can use to test your language skills. In the appendix of the book you will find verb tables and a small French-German/German-French dictionary
