Download or read book Demystifying the French written by Janet Hulstrand and published by Winged Words Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Demystifying the French: How to Love Them, and Make Them Love You is aimed at first-time visitors to France as well as long-term expatriates. Designed to help readers 'crack the code,' avoid common mistakes, and get off on the right foot with the French, the book begins with five easy-to-follow essential tips 'for even brief encounters' by introducing a few French phrases and how to say them that will pave the way for a positive experience in France. The tips are followed by 10 chapters that go into a deeper explanation of French habits, manners, and ways of viewing the world. Hulstrand shares the perspective she has gained in nearly 40 years of time spent living, working, teaching, and traveling in France, and illustrates the principles she is discussing with sometimes touching, and often amusing, personal anecdotes... Reflections contributed by David Downie, Adrian Leeds, Harriet Welty Rochefort, and other well-known commentators on Franco-American cultural differences provide additional perspective and depth. A glossary of French terms that is both substantive and whimsical provides surprising insights into historical as well as cultural reasons for the French being 'the way they are.' Aimed mainly at an American audience, this book will be helpful for anyone who wants to better understand the French, and have fun while doing so."--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Change-ringing is a form of traditional music based on sequences, permutations and patterns. It is most familiar to the public as the sound of church bells. Change-ringing can also be performed on handbells, where it becomes a contrast to the melodic music of handbell choirs. This book guides readers through the elementary stages of change-ringing on handbells, from first principles to a standard repertoire. No previous experience of change-ringing is necessary. The authors have been ringing handbells for over 30 years, and blog about their experiences at www.handbellringing.co.uk. "There have been no books dedicated to the subject of change ringing on handbells for over three decades. For several years, Simon and Tina's blog has provided us with fascinating insights into the experiences of a progressive handbell band, sharing useful hints and tips along the way. Based upon this experience, they have written this comprehensive and up-to-date guide to ringing handbells from first principles through to Treble Bob Major. It is expertly written and illustrated, explaining everything you need to know to make progress, in easy steps. I am confident it will become a classic." - Graham John
