Street French by David Burke
"Stop hitting your biscuit!" What? If you heard this expression (arrete de te frapper le biscuit!) from a French native you wouldn't know that it meant to "stop hitting your head against the wall in frustration!"--unless you had read David Burke's newest book devoted solely to French idioms. Idioms are those common phrases we use in daily conversation that seem totally confusing to a stranger. This second book of the three--title revision of the bestsellers Street French and More Street French features translations of hundreds of French idiomatic expressions. It also includes pronunciation guides, sections on antonyms and synonyms, and an expanded glossary. * Includes more crossword puzzles, fill--ins, word games, and fun self--tests * An expanded, revised, and updated collection of the idioms featured in Street French and More Street French (total sales--90,000 copies) DAVID BURKE (Los Angeles, California) studied in Paris, is a fluent French speaker and is the author of Street Spanish (Wiley, 55,000 sold).
