Book Description
In-depth and adaptable, PARLONS AFFAIRES! is the ultimate resource for the Business French course. The program covers traditional business topics, as well as career practices and cultural concepts particular to French businesses. The core lesson within each Module discusses in great detail the latest trends in French business practice and culture. The systematic presentation and analysis of each topic provides a comprehensive overview, while the "Lexique" equips the student with crucial vocabulary, and the subsequent activities reinforce newly acquired terms. The focus on France particularly helps students prepare for the exams sponsored by the Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Paris, and additional information on Quebec acquaints students with French business practices in North America. The PARLONS AFFAIRES! text serves as a jumping point to the innumerable resources on the World Wide Web. Within the text, multiple links to additional information on the Web augment the material, while the Book Companion Website, considerably expanded for this edition, offers support for professors and for students.

Tres Bien.......2004-04-28
I used this book in my business French class and I thought that is was a good choice for people with notions of basic French.
It covers the business vocabulary through texts and exercises. That for me was the most helpful part as it gave me a quick overview of the business vocabulary. I was able to incorpate this into my knowledge of French and fake my way through business conversations.
It also gives readers an overview of French traditions, habits, and other quirks, which is both amusing and informative :-)
Thorough and Concise.......2001-04-25
During the course of a French business class, we used this book as the central text. After that semester, I was sincerely impressed by the cogent and clear explanation given by Berg in this book. It is divided into sections (modules) that facilitate comprehension both at the undegaduate and graduate levels. It is easily divisible, providing lenency concerning curriculum planning and course structure. Perhaps the most striking of Parlons Affaires! is format; it was designed as a prepatory text for the Diplome de francais d'affaires (DFA) administered by the Chamber of Commernce and Industry of Paris (CCIP). In this fashion, the book is indispensable for 1) an introduction into the french business world and lexicon; 2) those who wish to prepare for the DFA; 3) any person desiring a better understanding of french business operations. Finally, I recommend, without reservation, this text. Choose it and you will not be disappointed! Il vaut la peine!

Not worthy of the Berlitz name.......2002-10-22
I love most Berlitz courses. This one, however, really stinks. The book is fine, but the cassette is geared toward the first time traveler. There are NO business terms discussed. NONE. It is fine if you want a hotel room or if you want to order dinner, but your [lost] if you want to learn how to say graph, PC, marketing, production, ect... There are other tapes out there that handle this topic MUCH better.

Too many examples without deeper info about them.......2004-06-13
I bought this book to help me write a resume and a cover letter in French, but it was not very helpful. While this book contains hundreds of English letters for different pourposes and their translation in French, there is only one example letter for each situation. There is only one cover letter, one resume, etc. It would be better if it would try not to cover so many different situations, but to show more examples of specific ones. Also it doesn't give any explanations or make suggestions for the reader to customize the letter. It just shows the English letter, and then the French one.
Book Description

It provides an exhaustive range of business vocabulary across many core areas, giving the most extensive coverage on the market of e-commerce and Internet-related terms.

Engaging book, preachy introduction.......2001-01-23
Maria Lydig Daly seems to have had an opinion about just about anything and did not hold back from sharing them in her diary. Sometimes she's just dead wrong, other times she issues a telling observation. We need all we can get about Northern women, and this diary testifies to their diversity of voices. However, as for the introduction, what's got Jean Berlin in a snit? The introduction is preachy and sanctimonious, and that's the good part. Maybe she had better go to Tiffany's and mingle with the people she mocks.
