PREFACE:
In these days of jet flight, one can leave New York by jet and touch down at Orly Airport outside of Paris in six hours. Once there, an American is immediately aware of a babble of sound in an unfamiliar key. He must try to comprehend what the French are saying and how they do things.
It’s too much to ask that ail Frenchmen speak English for our benefit — though many of them do and most of them try. With pride they do their best to make us feel comfortable and wëlcome in their country. The least we can do is return the compliment.
There’s real satisfaction in speaking up (however timidly) in French to a Frenchman. There’s a cozy pleasure in recognizing familiar words, expressions and turns of phrase when he speaks to you. It adds to your understanding of this other world, this other people.
This book is aimed at giving you self-confidence by helping you review what you’ve already learned of the French language. It enlarges your vocabulary, impresses on your mind the rides and irregularities in simple, clear form; it equips you with a variety of idiomalic phrases to make conversation easier.
To give you more practice in hearing yourself speak French, we have included some Conversation Pieces in the form of radio scripts. These conversations between teenagers will give you a taste of modem colloquial French. In addition you will find some short selections to translate, as preparation for examinations.
And to help you see and understand the beauties of France — its ancient treasures, its customs, its diversified peoples, its arts and amusements, its quaintness and its bustling modem industry — we have added a complete section on French culture.
We hope that the charming illustrations throughout the book will stir your imagination and quicken your interest in learning more about this beautiful country and its beautiful language. When you do visit France, you will feel that you are at home with an old friend.
May this book really open the doors to a deeper insight into a study you have already begun, and inspire you to continue your discovery of the many things there are to love about France and its people.
