Useful for beginners and travelers
+ Quebecois French + Useful for beginners and travelers
Unlike my fellow reviewer below, I found this dictionary and phrasebook to be useful. In fact, I find linguist-guy's criticism to be harsh and unfair ("Québécois" IS, after all, a dialect of French--how could the book NOT include French words?!). As far as I can tell, the pronunciation guide the ...
