Les 39 Pieges Les Plus
Courants Dans La Langue Anglaise

The
39 Most Frequent Traps that Prevent French People from
Speaking Fluent English is a humoristic language text
intended primarily for a French audience: a minimalist
approach for maximum progress. Also of interest to
language specialists looking for new teaching/learning
strategies. The 39 "traps" covered in this book account
for 90% of the mistakes and omissions made by native
French speakers who are at the intermediate or advanced
level of English study. A French doctor once advised a
patient: "You should stop to smoke," when he really want
to say, "You should stop smoking". In a conversation about
health care systems, a French economist asked: "How much
does a surgeon win in the United States?" Of course,
surgery is not a betting proposition or a game. He
should have said "earn" or "make".

Culture
Shock-Cuba
Mark
Cramer |
A balanced account of Cuba's current realities,
Culture Shock! Cuba is a must-read for
people who wish to visit or do business in Cuba. Also
a fascinating read for those curious to know more
about this controversial country. On the "required
reading" or "highly recommended" lists of numerous
American universities with study programs abroad.
"For a deeper look at current Cuba and its many faces,
we unhesitatingly recommend Culture Shock! Cuba by
Mark Cramer ... a thoughtful prism for coming to grips
with many of the contradictions in today's Cuban
society. An sometimes hilariously funny, too."
---Medical Education Cooperation with Cuba (www.medicc.org)
(Mark's other travel narratives, on Bolivia, Mexico,
New York and Barcelona, can be purchased or ordered at
most bookstores. His new insider's view of Paris will
be published in the Spring of 2005.)
