and don't
skip
around.
Each
day
work as
far
as
you
can com-
fortably
go
in
those
10
minutes.
Don't
overdo
it.
Some
days
you might
want
to
just
re-
view.
If
you
forget
a word,
you
can always
look
it
up
in the
glossary Spend
your first
10 minutes
studying the map on the previous
page.

new language.
As
you
work through the
Steps,

cards,
free

your Pocket Pal
which
is designed
to

where
on your
travels
and to
provide
essential backup
in
case
you
forget
an
important
word now and then.

STICKY LABELS
This
book
has
over 150
special
sticky
labels for
you to
use as
you
learn
new
words.
When
you
are
introduced
to
one
of
these
words,
remove
the
corresponding
label
from
these
pages. Be
sure
to use each
of
these
unique
self-adhesive
labels
by
adhering
them
to
a
picture, window,
lamp, or
whatever
object
they refer
to.
And
yes,
they
are
removable
The
sticky
labels
make
learning
to speak
French
much
more
fun
and
a lot
easier
than
you ever
expected.
For
example,
when
you
look
in the
mirror
and see
the
label,
say
(mir-wahr)
•
99
le
miroir.'
mirror
Don't just
say
it
once,
say
it
again
and
again.
And once
you
label the refrigerator,
you
should never
again
open
that
door without saying
a
(ray-free-zhay-rah-tuhr)
le
réfrigérateur.
refrigerator
By using
the
sticky labels,
you
not
only
learn
new
words,
but
friends
and
family
learn along
with you
The
sooner you
start,
18
the
sooner
you can use these
labels
at
home or work.

With
all
these
verbs,
the
first
thing
you
do
is drop
the
final er, ir,
or
re
from the basic
verb
form or
stem.
•
With
je,

add
e
to
the
basic
verb form.
•
With nous,
add
ons.
•
S'appeler varies
but not too
much.
It is
a
very
important
verb
so
take
a few
extra
minutes
to
learn
it.

not
conform to the pattern
But don't worry.
Speak
slowly

et
you

whether you say

will
be
ighted that
you
have taken

Note:
•
French has
two
separate
and
very different ways of
saying
you whereas in

we only use
one
word.

•
Vous
will
be
used throughout
this
book
and
will
be
appropriate
for
most

refers
to
one

a
formal sense
as
well
as

yourself

you ordered
an entire

Glossary
This
glossary
contains
words used in
this
book only.
It
is not
meant to be
a
dictionary.
Consider purchasing
a
dictionary which
best suits
your
needs
-
small for traveling,
large for reference,
or
specialized for specific
vocabulary
needs.
Remember that
French adjectives
can
have
different
endings
depending
upon
whether they are
used in
their
feminine or masculine form. The masculine form is
given
here.
The (e) following
the masculine
form
indicates
that this word's feminine
form simply
adds
an
e. If the feminine form is
significantly
different,
it will
be
given in its entirety. Learn to
look for
the core of
the
word.

Language
Maps
1^
from
Bilingual
Books
Available
in four languages:
An
absolute
must for
anyone
traveling
abroad
Durable,
weatherproof,
sturdy
-
These
attractive, flip-style
Language
Maps' are the
first
phrasebook
ever to
appear in
a
convenient map format.
Easy to
use
-
A
patented
lamination process allows
these handy
Language
Maps'
to
fold
and unfold in
a snap
without
tearing.
Much
lighter and discreet
than
a
dictionary or phrasebook
-
Each Language Map'
contains over
1
,000
words and phrases split into
important
sections covering the
basics
for any trip.
These Language Maps' are beautifully
illustrated and are the
perfect
compan-
ion
to
the
10
minutes a
day®
Series.
Now that
you've
finished.,
You've
done
it
You've completed all
the
Steps,
stuck
your
labels,
flashed
your cards,
clipped
your
menu and
pocketed your PaF
. Do
you
realize
how far you've
come and
how
much
you've learned?
You've
accomplished
what
it
could
take years
to
achieve in a
traditional
language
class.
You
can now
confidently
-
ask questions,
-
understand
directions,
-
make
reservations,
-
order food and
-
shop anywhere.
And you
can
do
it
all
in
a
foreign
language
You can
now go anywhere
—
from
a
large cosmopolitan restaurant
to
a small, out-of-the-way
village
where no
one speaks
Enghsh.
Your experiences
will
be
much more enjoyable and
worry-
free
now
that
you
speak the
language
and know
something
of the culture.
Yes,
learning
a
foreign
language can
be
fun. And no, not
everyone
abroad
speaks
English.

The
concept
behind
the 10 minutes
a day''
approach
is
exactly
that
—
do a
httle
bit
every
day.
Most
of us
learning a
foreign
language are enthusiastic and
want
to
master
the
language,
if
not immediately,
at
least within
the
first few
hours
We
assemble books
and
dictionaries, then jump
in
for the attack.
This
intensity
and
focus
can resemble dieters
on
New Year's Day.
The
results
can also
be
similar
—
focus
turns to frustration
if
the results are not
enormous. Unfortunately,
enthusiasm
frequently becomes avoidance until one
is
convinced
that
the
goal
can't
be
reached
and
eventually stops, either
dieting or
learning a language.
The 10
minutes
a day®
approach
is
designed
for
you to
succeed.
Spend
a little time every
day on your
new language; during
coffee
breaks
or
your commuting time can be
ideal.
You are
not
required
to
spend
an
hour
or
even
the
full
ten minutes.
What
is
important
is
that
you
do
something
every day.
As soon
as you
find
your
mind wandering, mark
your
spot
in the book
—
in
the
middle
of
Steps,
anywhere you
happen
to
be
—
and
stop.
Do
not
overdo. Let
the
process
be
fun.
There is
no
set speed
or
time limit. You set
your
own
pace.
If
you
are
enjoying
what
you
are
learning,
don't
stop
even
if
you
have
been
working for an hour. If,
on
the other
hand,
you
have
been concentrating for ten
minutes and
you
need
a
break,
stop and
continue
tomorrow.
We
wish
you
all
the
success
in
the
world
in
learning
your
new language.
