Summary: French Indeed!
Comment: An excellent introduction to "naughty French", this book contaons phrases and words that are both considered insulting as well as just those that are common in informal speech. Chapters on sexual terms, body parts, put downs, and so on make this book very useful as well as amusing to read. This is not only for the vulgar minded; a certain skill in understanding certain profanities is necessary so that one does not intentionally say something inappropriate. the author gives an example in the introduction: an American teacher teaching English in France tells her class that she "kisses" her husband everyday in the doorway of her house. However, the word that technically means kiss, in the case mentioned, can also mean "to screw". So you can understand how knowledge of such terms are used is a necessity if one is to communicate effectively in French.

Summary: Naughty enough
Comment: Well, I'm not French, but I'm a certified francophile and I enjoyed the feeling of knowing what a typical French person knows, supposedly. Although there are some words that are probably region-sensitive, because one time, my friends and I wanted to have fun during a birthday of a French friend and he couldn't get the joke! Just like his other books Street French 1 and 2, Burke tries to give a close translation to the words--not an easy feat. This book is definitely for those who might want to keep a vocabulary of naughty things for fun.
