Book Review – Dictionary of French Building Terms

Submitted by Dawn on August 25, 2008 – 8:40 pmNo Comment

This is a GEM – even for French speakers like me!

It is split into 2 sections: French to English and then English to French

I REALLY wish we’d had this book with us the last time we went over as it would have been so useful – instead I was carrying around with me my dictionary which didn’t have any of the words I was looking for.

Here’s why this book would have saved us time and money:
We took back 3 tins of paint at one point on 3 different occasions and each tin was completely different and certainly not what we were looking for. We wasted over 6 hours going back and forth to the towns to change the products, along with this lost time I’d say we lost €30 in petrol costs.

I will definitely be taking this one out with me.

It even has 35 different definitions for any type of glue you could wish for! Amazing!

5 out of 5
