A book cover titled '50 French phrases for your new life in France' by The French Class - Adeline. The cover includes a subtitle: 'Not because you have to. Because it changes everything.' The author's description notes 15 years of experience teaching native French.

What's inside

  • You already speak more French than you think — a short history of the thousand-year love story between English and French, and why a third of the words you're about to learn are already yours.

  • Your first week — hello, please, sorry, "slower, please": the ten you can't do without.

  • Everyday life — shops, bakery, market and chemist, and what to answer when they say Avec ceci ?

  • The mairie & the paperwork — appointments, documents, forms, and the one sentence that gets it all written down.

  • Builders & repairs — leaks, heating, "it's not working", and how to ask for a devis.

  • Your neighbours — small talk, coffee invitations, and how to turn every chat into a free lesson.

  • The basics — numbers, days, months, telling the time, reading the sign on the shop door.

14 pages, designed to be printed and kept in the kitchen drawer.
