How to stand out as a foriegner

Although this book does contain some useful phrases and an easy breakdown of each word, i have to agree with the previous reviewer in that many phrases are outdated. calling a waiter 'boy!' in england would get odd looks, in france you would be asked to leave. This book is probably best used as a basic reference for those who speak some french already and need to brush up on a few things... just dont shout 'garcon' at anyone ;)

Outdated!

For [...] I wasn't expecting much, and didn't get much!
The phrases in this book are hilariously outdated and a dead giveaway to the 1960's original publishing date. Such gems as "please lubricate my vehicle", "where can I find an American doctor?" or yelling "garcon!" at a waitor make hilarious reading, but trying out any of these phrases on real French people will get you slapped.

Plenty of useful words with a good phonetic breakdown of the pronunciation. Fantastic value and very useful.
