'Funny little book that will give you some good laughs! I bought it for my husband's birthday because he will retire soon and we will be spending our retirement in France. Till now he had the excuse that he worked only with English speaking people, so I did all the talking but he really needs and wants to start speaking French. I think that this book is a good starting point!' -- Reviewer Francisca Thanks to this book I even managed to make a Parisian understand me! -- S. Cargo Help! Au secours! (Oh / sir coor!) Invaluable phrases will trip off your tongue, gems like: 'Is that a baguette in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?', 'You did not tell me it would be extra', and 'Are you sure that all these symptoms are caused by a liver attack?' -- From French for Xenophobes

Author Information

Drew Launay is the author of more than a dozen novels, plays, works of non-fiction, and BBC broadcasts. After discovering that the natives of other countries refused to understand what he was talking about, Drew devised the Xenophobe's way of coping with the problem and now speaks Spanish, French, Italian, and German like a true Brit. He lives in Nerja, near Malaga, Spain where he sits most days on the beach with his laptop writing to language professors and academics world-wide warning them that their number is up.
