"This modern guide to French idiom is invaluable to readers who have a solid foundation in French and who wish to increase their confidence in using the idioms of the contemporary French language that they hear and read in today's press and media." "Aimed at advanced learners of French, translators, interpreters or anyone following current affairs, Media French is designed to supplement a good French-English dictionary by providing translated headwords of key idioms as encountered in social, political, economic, legal and journalistic usage. In addition, after each headword a selection of actual examples taken from the quality press is provided, giving clear, concise and contemporary examples of its use."--Jacket.
