About the book
If you spend time in present-day France, the language you hear on the radio and television or see in newspapers is far removed from the French language of ten or twenty years ago. The country and its language have changed tremendously in a relatively short period of time, and, as a result, English speakers with a solid grounding in French can still find themselves struggling to understand commonly used terms. Insiders' French offers a happy solution: a unique handbook that explains the language of European union, the space program, abortion and women's rights, high-tech industries, and health care, among other timely topics. Entries proceed by association of ideas and related terms, with extensive cross-referencing, while still being alphabetized for easy reference like a standard dictionary. Cartoons from major French journals add to your understanding and enjoyment.
