Exploring the French Language
Do you know what 'verlan' or French 'backslang' is? Was President Mitterand 'câblé'? The French language is more than just a tool for communication; it has a crucial role to play in how native speakers of French think about the world and about themselves and their culture. This book helps students develop a systematic 'linguistic' approach to French. It covers the core topics, ranging from the structure and sounds of the language to discourse and everyday conversation. No previous knowledge of linguistics is assumed and a glossary of technical terms and many exercises and activities help reinforce key points. Students will find that their understanding and enjoyment of the French language is greatly enhanced by this book.

When the couple, newly married, relocates to Francophone Geneva, Collins—fearful of one day becoming "a Bor...

So it's no surprise that French is known as perhaps the most beautiful of all languages.

Unfortunately, just because a language is beautiful doesn't mean that it's easy to learn. Although French has many...
