Parlez vous Francais?: Learn to Speak French
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Prior to our trip, I bought a set of CD's (8) "French with Michel Thomas". I listened to them in my car on the way to work and back. Regular price about $56 but you can probably get them a little cheaper on Ebay or Half.com. It was really easy to learn some basic communication which really came in handy when encountering locals who could not speak any English at all. The English language is derived from French so there are some similarities which make it easy to learn - this is all explained in the CD's. At least by listening to the CD's, you get a very good idea on how to pronounce the words.

    Books & Guides: Eyewitness Travel Guide - Paris
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: If you are going to Paris for the first time - this is the book to have and really the only book you need. It has everything in it from all the sightseeing information, maps, hotels, restaurants, clothing sizes and much more. Even a brief description on common things you need to ask for in French. Costs about $22.50 - I actually wrote in my book (map part) to remind myself what I wanted to see once I was there.
    When in Paris, I encountered other American tourists with this book in hand.
