A Delightful Little Read

It is truly a delight to come across this little book. It serves as a precious treasure when it comes to understanding the actual spoken French. In language classes, we often never really cover slang, yet it is an essential part of how we communicate in any language. This book fills that gap and provides valuable insights into the real French language as it is used in everyday conversations.

Regrettably, I didn't have this book when I traveled to France. I really needed it during my demonstrations and also when dealing with that annoying person at the airport. It would have been extremely useful in helping me navigate through various situations and communicate more effectively with the locals. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a more authentic understanding of the French language and culture.

Pretty funny!

It's also a bit informative, although it's not very practical for me since I use my French so little these days.

However, it should be quite entertaining if I have it with me the next time I'm in the francophone routine.

Maybe it'll bring a smile to my face and add a touch of fun to my language experience.

Even though I don't use French often, having something like this around can still be a nice reminder of the language and its culture.

Who knows, it might even inspire me to brush up on my French skills and start using it more frequently.

Overall, it's a lighthearted and enjoyable piece that could potentially have some value in the right circumstances.
