Kathryn Occhipinti’s: Conversational French for Travellers
Many of us are hoping planes will soon switch places with armchairs for our travels. If France is on your future schedule, you might find this booklet useful. I wish it had been published when we set out on our adventures. It does exactly what it says on the cover, and I think it’s excellent. Click on the book image for the Amazon link.

Kathryn’s vision to develop an easy method to learn Italian was realised in the publication of Conversational Italian for Travelers: Just the Important Phrases. With the help of Nada Sneige Fulihan, a French teacher in the US, she has used the same formula with French. Conversational French for Travelers: Just the Important Phrases was published last year – and I think it’s a terrific guide.
