Words in a French Life

Midveil

This is a cute book, which is great if you picked up this book <i>wanting</i> cute stories about this American's domestic life in France with her native French husband and children. I was interested more in learning a little of the French language, and though this book is called an "innovative and entertaining way of teaching the finer points of French," it's hardly a French language instruction manual, as there are too few French words buried in Espinasse's flighty antecdotes.

Melody Izard

An American woman living in France along with her French husband and her "Franco-American" children, attempts to improve her French by taking a word a day and using it in an antidote about her new life in France. The book might have been better if I had read it with my computer handy so I could go to her blog - French Word a Day 
and try to find the corresponding entry so that I could hear the audio file. But- why would I have needed the book then?
