Description

“Quirky, geeky, more than just a dictionary – but above all an essential tool for Brits abroad!”

 

English-speaking home-owners bent on renovating a property in France may be baffled by the vagaries of the French language when purchasing essential tools, materials and equipment – but there are also anomalies between the countries beyond a disparity of sizes, quantities and terms.

 

With a dash of humour from an established author, the bilingual Dictionary of French Tools & Materials demystifies the bewildering choice of what’s available. Variations may be aesthetic, historic, or fundamental, and this book exposes the oddities and inconsistencies – and even highlights items that don’t exist in the UK.

 

• A dictionary of more than 10,000 French terms translated into English, including hundreds of technical words you won’t find in a standard dictionary.

• Entries divided into the main categories that cover all aspects of home renovation: Building, Carpentry & Joinery, Decorating, Electricity, Ironmongery & Hardware, Metalwork, and Plumbing & Heating.

• Ready reference on numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages, plus a list of the major trades.
