This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. This little volume of "Progressive French Idioms" claims neither to be exhaustive nor even very highly advanced; it is meant to be really practical and useful. Any expressions, idioms, or proverbs which might be unknown to an ordinary educated Frenchman have been omitted. An attempt has been made at some division of the matter according to its relative importance, but, of course, opinions will differ as to this, and the sections are bound to overlap to some extent. Section A contains under the name of Grammatical Idioms! typical examples of most of the points in which French and English grammar do not agree. It does not go into grammatical oddities or moot questions debated amongst scholars. A pupil well drilled in this section-that is, able to construct sentences readily and intelligently on the model of those given-would actually possess as much practical knowledge of grammar as is necessary and sufficient to proceed with the study of French. It may here be remarked that lack of fluency in conversation does not as a rule arise from want of knowledge in advanced grammar, or even from a deficient vocabulary, but rather from want of readiness in the use of those elementary constructions of French grammar which are quite easy and natural to natives. Until the pupil is perfectly at home in the use of the personal pronouns, the conversational tense, the idiomatic auxiliaries, etc., no fluency in speaking is possible. The next requirement is an equally ready knowledge of a number of idiomatic turns and expressions which every Frenchman, be he educated, or not, uses constantly. A knowledge of these is absolutely essential to speaking and writing French as it is spoken and written by French people. These are given in Section B. Section C is concerned with idioms more literary than those in Section B, but by no means uncommon. They are the kind of expressions and constructions constantly I found in the books of good writers, or used by people who speak well. Most of them will be required in the translation into French of an ordinary English passage, and consequently they must not only be understood but learned and used by more advanced pupils having to translate English into French or write original composition. In Section D are included idioms difficult of use for English pupils, but, generally speaking, easy and perfectly well known to any educated Frenchman. Many are idioms which a foreigner is apt to use incorrectly or in the wrong place. Owing to their constant occurrence in French books the pupil must know their meaning, but should not as a rule be advised or encouraged to use them until he has by a larger intercourse with French writers or French people obtained a deeper understanding of the genius of the language. In this section the French is given first. Section E contains a number of trite and stereotyped similes, most of them having now lost their original wit or sarcasm, but which are still used everywhere by everybody. The list could easily have been extended and might have been interesting as sometimes giving curious illustrations of the difference in the respective characters of the two peoples. In Section F some well-known proverbs are given with English equivalents. The list does not go beyond such sayings as everybody uses and quotes freely in France. For some there is an acknowledged rendering, sometimes perhaps not very accurate, for others a somewhat awkward translation has to be resorted to. Indeed, as the intercourse between France and Britain increases, not a few seem now to admit of a literal translation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of English and French Idioms: Illustrating, by Phrases and Examples, the Peculiarities of Both Languages, and Designed as a Supplement to the Ordinary Dictionaries Now in Use As this volume has been prepared especially with the view of enabling the American to translate his own language into grammatical, idiomatical, written and colloquial French, and of rendering it equally useful for the library, the parlor, and the counting-house, as well as the school-room, such phrases have been selected in preference as relate to literature, the fine arts, and commerce, besides conversational expressions, and terms of etiquette in established use. These have been carefully classified and translated into French, according to the rules of Grammar and the usage of polite society; in such cases, when the sense is liable to be affected by the context or circumstances, the translation is made in as many forms or synonymous expressions as are necessary to illustrate the various shades of meaning in which the term may occur.

Download or read book French For Dummies written by Dodi-Katrin Schmidt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you buy into the Pepé Le Pew stereotype of the French – arrogant, stuffy, overly amorous, and rather odiferous (Pepé Le Pew was a skunk. Talk about stereotypical!) – then think again. Not only are the French people some of the most relaxed, pleasant people you'll ever meet, but their society is one of the oldest, most culturally rich societies in the world. So it's no surprise that French is known as perhaps the most beautiful of all languages. Listen to someone speak French – sure, you don't have a clue what she's saying, but aren't you enraptured by the sound of it? Unfortunately, just because a language is beautiful doesn't mean that it's easy to learn. Although French has many things in common with English, French has had many, many centuries to evolve into the language it is today, which means it's had all that time to become more complex. That's where French For Dummies can help. Written in partnership with the language experts at Berlitz, this book can give you what you need for basic communication in French. French For Dummies covers the following topics and more: Basic pronunciation and gestures The nuts and bolts of French grammar Meeting and greeting in French Situations in which you can use French: Making small talk, dining out, shopping, and talking on the phone Traveling to France: Dealing with French currency, staying at a hotel, and getting around town Top Ten lists on ways to pick up French quickly, things you should never say in French, favorite French expressions, and important French holidays to remember. Appendixes with verb conjugation tables, as well as a French mini-dictionary French For Dummies also comes with a CD that has audio transcriptions of all the exercises in the book, so that you can actually hear the French pronunciations. So whether you're taking a business trip and need to pick up a little French quickly; you're cramming for your high school French final; or you've always wanted to learn a new language but don't have the time to drag yourself to a class once a week, French For Dummies can get you well on your way to becoming fluent in no time.
