Books : French Phrasebook (Collins GEM) .
Rating: 
- Ok if you don't speak a word.
I'll start by saying I think I expected a bit too much of this product. I attempted to use it in France after using the Michel Thomas Foundation Course: French (Michel Thomas Series) (which incidentally is very good). But I found that because I knew a little French already, everything I needed to know was too advanced for this book. The dictionary was a lot more use.
On the other hand, if you don't speak even a word of French this might be useful to you. it has phonetic pronunciations of all the words and useful sections which might get you out of a scrape. But if you can afford it... forget this and go for the French course instead!

- A great little product that's invaluable when travelling.
The Collins Phrase books (I have used several of the new editions including French, Spanish and Italian while travelling around Europe) are great. They are easily navigable with colour coding for different sections - all the essentials you need for getting by on holiday - shopping, using transport, accommodation, top tips - my favourite bit though, and that which I couldn't do with out, is the awesome menu reader! By far my favourite part of the any holiday is eating and the format is nice and compact so can fit in your handbag/purse easily. They're really discreet for bringing out at the dinner table, pretty much fitting in your hand, and avoiding the truly obvious tourist look! They're good and cheap too so I will be picking one up for any relevant country I visit.
