French - Learn 35 Words to Speak French

By Peter Roberts and Helena Roberts

An English/French language booklet, teaching beginners how to speak French using only 35 words. Created by Peter and Helena Roberts, this booklet teaches the same 35 key words needed to get by for the absolute beginner in any language, including: “I want something”, “I want to buy something”, “I need to find somewhere”, or “Thank you”. This book not only teaches this core vocabulary, but shows how it fits together to create quite effective grammatical phrases. Despite the apparent simplicity of the concept, the authors spent many visits in France, travelling through the cities and countryside, ensuring that these simple phrases were all that was needed for people to learn, use, and have a great holiday.

Peter Roberts

Patrick Ronald Roberts was born on July 4th 1931 in London. The second of four children. The family moved to Liverpool in 1943 to escape the constant bombing of the city by the Germans, and the terrible poverty in which they were living. Patrick and his elder brother Evan, 95, are the only remaining siblings. He lost his sister Betty to suicide aged 28, and his brother George died aged just 21 in an army accident in Egypt. He is buried in a military cemetery in Cyprus. Patrick, almost 91, enjoys bowling, playing chess, and writing short stories, and has only recently stopped playing golf.
