description: The French SpeakOut guide combines a dictionary, menu decoder, and phrasebook in one durable, pocket-sized package. Written by native speakers in an accessible, easy-to-understand style, it introduces France and her people and provides entertaining insights into the exquisite pleasures of French cuisine. Readers learn how to follow a menu and order local specialties like bouillabaisse in Provence or huge beefs steaks in the Charente. With color photos throughout, the book offers advice on sampling the huge range of top-class wines and champagnes, explains how to reading a wine label, and details the social customs of this gastronomic paradise. Dialogue boxes throughout the two-way dictionary ensure that travelers can deal with every situation, from ordering a first-class meal to buying a digital camera. In addition, two PopOut phrase menus provide instant access to 200 essential phrases on eating, shopping, traveling, and sightseeing, and a light-up pen in the spine can be used on notes pages at the back of the dictionary.
