They make the language flow. In addition you'll learn how to use the most common everyday expressions from colloquial spoken French, like "Pas de problème", "Quelle horreur", "J'en ai marre", and "Ne te casse pas la tête." The key words and expressions are individually discussed and illustrated in phrases and sentences, each with a discussion of context so that you will become more comfortable with them. Not only will you recognize these expressions and key words if you hear or read them, but you will be able to use them yourself. This book will be a pleasure for you.

We are so used to hearing about all the French words that are found in English and about how purist the French are about their language, that we don't realize how many English words have migrated into French. You'll be astonished by how many English words are used in French. French is inundated with them! Swamped with them! Most are native English words, but surprisingly, some were originally French words which moved into English long ago, evolved a different meaning, and then moved back to French with the new meaning as anglicismes. English words aren't always taken into French with the same spelling and usage as they have in our language. For example, you'll encounter le week-end, which has gained a hyphen, and le warning which doesn't mean "the warning" in a general sense, but specifically means the emergency lights or flashers on a car. Some words are specific to certain sports, like l'uppercut or le football, or to other activities, such as playing bridge, while other words which are general in English have only limited meanings in French. An example is le slice, which only refers to golf and tennis, and not to a slice of melon, for instance. Some words are so well integrated into French that the average Frenchman wouldn't be aware that they are words of English origin. At the other extreme are words that that same Frenchman would recognize immediately as English words even though he uses them without reflection (much as we would say ravioli and pizza are Italian words, or taco and tamale are Mexican Spanish words). All these words will be marked as anglicisme or mot anglais in a French dictionary like Le Petit Robert, and the use of some of them would be frowned on in formal speech or writing, but many are very widely used in normal casual speech. You'll find it a fascinating book. READ WHAT PROFESSORS AND INSTRUCTORS OF FRENCH AND OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT EARLIER BOOKS IN THIS SERIES: I think your books are wonderful.

Most English speakers are unaware that probably half their language comes from French, or indeed is French, recently transplanted. This book tells you the fascinating stories of English words that came from French, often words you would never have dreamt were French (like curtsy, mutton, very, surrender, important, grenade, pistol and dozen). It tells you how these words evolved, how they arrived in English, and how they changed once in English. This is not a book with useful facts to memorize (although you'll learn a lot of French and a lot about French while you read). However, it's interesting. It's fun to read. It will stretch your mind and introduce you to things you never imagined. Think of these fascinating stories as a little treat for yourself when you feel like reading something interesting. READ WHAT PROFESSORS AND INSTRUCTORS OF FRENCH HAVE WRITTEN about this book: I have to tell you, This Book is So Much Fun to Read! --- Catherine Ostrow, Lecturer, Wesleyan. I was discussing your book with my husband (who doesn't speak French), telling him about all the French he already speaks without knowing it. It is indeed a lot of fun to read. --- Prof. Brigitte Humbert, Middlebury. I found it, like the others, really useful. Nice work! The whole series is impressive. --- Prof. Jonathan Walsh, Wheaton. What a marvelous book! Bravo and keep up the good work! –- Prof. Ruth Koizim, Yale. I really like it! I am impressed with the amount of research you put into your books. ---- Prof. John Turvaville, U. of Tenn. As a professor of French, I found your book fascinating. I like to give students this type of background. --- Prof Richard Duran, Baylor U.. I read your book, a tonic in between undergrad lit papers! It's clearly written and well researched. I did enjoy it. --- Prof. Herta Rodina, Ohio U. AND ABOUT OTHER BOOKS IN THIS SERIES: I think your books are wonderful.
