Description

From getting the very best price from the boulangerie to purchasing a meat without getting sneered at, an A-to-Z guide to installation in en Français Englishman Charles Timoney was tossed into French lifestyle headfirst twenty-five years back when he and his partner moved to her native France. He'd learned French in college, but his recollection of conjugation exercises and language databases demonstrated no match for day-to-day living. As he blundered his way toward fluency, he held a summary of terms and terms that incredibly (occasionally wickedly) epitomized facets of the French tradition-and were used solely by nativespeakers. Excuse My French discusses the absurdities of French vocabulary and lifestyle and drives visitors after dark embarrassments of talking French in France.
