1. The primary reason to purchase this book is the wonderful illustrations. While the narrative is evocative, it is a bit dark for me. None the less, having read this book I would love to visit Paris again to discover the city which Tillinac has so vividly described.

1. For lovers of Nick Bantock (Griffin & Sabine,), and Karen Elizabeth Gordon, (Deluxe Trasitive Vampire, and Paris Out of Hand,) this small volume is a time capsule of a young girl's year growing up in Paris. Told via her stamp collection, (1 colorful French stamp and one life-vignette per page,) it traces her year with her family and school friends until the end, when they must leave Paris to come back to the United States.

   Inspires anyone interested in collage, (although there are no collages in the book per se, I loved it anyway,) Parisian life, and stamp collecting.

   The only thing I wanted was more. Where is the author now? How did her stamp collection become this book? Why is this book out of print?? Alas.

5 comments about SmartFrench For Travelers.

1. That object is beautifull as much as it is helpful. I went to the smatfrench website to download the audio recordings of the whole book and I can polish my French phrases before my trip. The book is spiral bound so that when you are at the page of the situation you choose, like the hotel for example, the book stays flat and you can easily put it back in your shirt pocket. What I like also is that each sentence is recorded on a different track, so you can find it in a second. Very cool!



2. I like the color coding. It makes the sentences so easy to pronounce. I have had travel guides but they are generally too thick, with too many sentences and finally unusable. This one is just right.



3. This is an excellent tutorial to learn French. I highly recommend it for anyone who is studying/has studied French and wants to know how to *speak* French. It doesn't include grammar. This you will find elsewhere. SmartFrench, unlike other popular teaching methods, teaches how to listen to the spoken French just as it is used in real conversations. I found it to be a great confidence builder.



4. This is a high end French phrase book built to last. Weatherproof, too. Convenient, smartly laid out, and enjoyable to use. The French is written to show you how to pronounce it as it is actually pronounced by the French. This is its' ultimate selling point. Great product.



5. This book is not as described in the other reviews. It looks like someone just printed it off their computer and laminated it. It does NOT have phonetic pronuciation (just some confusing red/black color coding which is not explained), and the online audio tracks are available only for an additional fee. I returned this book and am going to look elsewhere before my trip to Paris.
