ONE of the best ways to learn a language, French included, is to spice up your study with something a little different.
And that is exactly what Kristin Espinasse’s new book, Words in a French Life, offers to those who want to add to their French language.
Based around her popular French-Word-a-Day email Kristin provides an inside track to the language in an appealing and amusing style.
Ably assisted by her two young children Kristin guides you through a range of words and phrases.
The book is simply laid out with the word and its explanation underneath and then a proverb or phrase using that term.
Then it is finished off with a short story or tale about Kristin’s use of the word out and about on the streets and in the shops close to her home in the south of France.
A delight of the book is the engaging style that is used and it has a lightness of touch that is miles away from the stuffy classrooms of language lessons.
And it is clear the enjoyment that Kristin gains from discovering more about some of the simplest of French words.
You can be sure that if you are studying French to help you get more out of your time in the country, spicing up your conversation with some of these words will bring a smile to your neighbour’s face.
