Publisher's summary
Do you get frustrated when you're on vacation and you can't make yourself understood ? Or maybe that you'd like to be appreciated by the locals and your family for making an effort? Maybe you don't want to come across as "that guy"; who thinks everyone should speak English? If any of these apply to you then keep listening....
I was that guy once. We went on vacation to Costa Rica, and in the more remote places we went, not a single person spoke English. I ended up miming things to bemused locals, or saying English words really slowly, and I felt really dumb, and by the end of the trip I vowed I wouldn't put myself in that situation again.
So I decided to create vacation phrasebooks. I speak fluent French, so on one of our vacations there I wrote down every phrase I used. What I said in the bakery, at the hotel etc. They are all in this book,
In large parts of France where they don't speak English, the reception you get in the restaurant if you say "Bonsoir, avez vous une table pour quatre s'il vous plait?" instead of mumbling in English, is night and day.
Imagine how you'll feel coming back from the market having bought some good stuff, speaking nothing but French, with your family looking at you in a new light.
- How to order a beer like a local
- What people will ask you at the car rental check-in
- How to book a table for dinner
- What the waiter will definitely ask you
- How to ask for a late checkout
- What people will ask you in supermarkets
- How to not get lost
- How to ask for the wifi code (hint - it's not 'wifi code')
- And much, much more
So what are you waiting for? What price confidence and an even better vacation, all for a few dollars? Go for it, hit the "Add to Cart" button, and start your (short) journey to confident French speaking.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Hi friends, my name is Glenda, and teaching foreign languages is my passion! There are a lot of different ways to learn a language—studying books, taking a class, or even watching foreign movies. But I’m an auditory learner. I have to hear and repeat the language to make it stick. In fact, when I was a teenager taking Italian classes, I would often make my own (cassette) recordings and study for my tests by listening to them.

Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Have you ever had that deep desire to learn another language? Have you ever wanted to travel the globe, see amazing sights, and experience a new country like a local? Germany is an amazing place. Full of snowcapped maintains, untouched landscapes, historically significant cities, and some of the best food on the planet. But Germany is not an English-speaking country - which means, very simply, if you want to see everything that this wonderland has to offer, then you need to learn the language.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the French language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning French is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

There are a lot of different ways to learn a language—studying books, taking a class, or even watching foreign movies. But I’m an auditory learner. I have to hear and repeat the language to make it stick. When I was a teenager taking French classes, I would often make my own (cassette) recordings and study for my tests by listening to them. All learning methods are valid! But there is only one you can so anytime and anywhere. And that’s what you’ll experience with this audiobook. I have taken great care to choose vocabulary and sentences that you can actually use!

A practical and useful guide!
The problem in some European countries, including France, is that nothing but French is spoken there.
So even the simplest conversations can be complicated if you don't know a little French.
This book is most useful for those who have planned a vacation to France, or would like to do so but are not comfortable with the language.
The book introduces all the phrases that can be useful during a short trip.
Transportation, hotels, directions, and much more.
Useful and well-crafted for this purpose.

Beautiful
"French for Vacations" by P. D. Kendall is a language-learning gem! This audio book makes my interaction with my French co-workers more fun and engaging. (work for a French company in US) The engaging narration and practical phrases were perfect for a novice like me. One standout section was Chapter 5, where Kendall teaches how to confidently order food in French. Her clear pronunciation and valuable tips turned my dining experiences into cultural adventures. Throughout the book, the pacing is spot-on, ensuring that learners can keep up and practice effectively. If you're planning a trip to France, "French for Vacations" is a must-listen, guaranteeing you'll savor every moment of your journey. I’m exited to hopefully get to travel for work in the near future to Paris, where this will be on repeat in my ears!

Great
I've been planning a trip to France for a little while now and I found this book to be perfect for my soon to be journey. It has a great amount of vocabulary and it's sectioned out into likely locals where you might have to use the phrases you're learning. It's very convenient and structured well. Because of this book I feel more confident in my ability to enjoy a foreign nation.

Learn French for Vacations while you drive
This is an absolutely great find in audiobooks for learning languages. The common phrases are the best and most used in each setting. The best part of all is the audiobook also comes with a downloadable PDF of the audiobook to help you follow along and get more practice. It was fun listening to it with my kids and learning together.

Great Book!
Very informative with a lot of wonderful great information. 3 reasons why you should buy this book;
The first reason is that it's not trying to teach you to learn all of the language, but just the bits you are actually going to need
The second is that it is structured in a way that you will need, so it starts at the airport, then goes on to car hire, then hotel, then restaurant etc, ie the way you will travel when in the country.
And the third is that the phrases have all been gathered through experience, so the author is confident that these are the phrases you're actually going to need.
In this way you can print out the pdf and if you can't remeber the relevant phrase off the top of your head you'll easily be able to find it in the document.
Thoroughly recommend!!

I feel confident traveling
My family and I are going to France in 2 weeks and decided to get this book. We all listened to it and feel confident traveling and saying simple French frases that we would use during our trip. We have heard it twice now. We practice on each other and have a great time trying to get the French accent right but we are getting better at it. I recommend this book. It will spark learning the whole language in everyone who listens to it.
