Colloquial French by R. A. Humphreys is a practical language course designed to help English-speaking learners acquire a working knowledge of everyday French. The book introduces essential vocabulary, grammatical structures and common expressions through lessons focused on practical communication and conversational usage. Particular attention is given to spoken French and the language needed in ordinary situations, while grammatical explanations and exercises reinforce the learner's understanding and ability to construct sentences independently. Published by Routledge & Kegan Paul as part of its established Colloquial language-learning series, the course is suitable for beginners and self-study as well as for use alongside formal language instruction. This 1982 edition provides a compact introduction to French conversation, vocabulary and grammar and is also of interest as an example of British foreign-language teaching materials from the early 1980s.
