If you are heading off for a short break or a longer holiday in France or Canada, why not
Learn French with Linguaphone before you go.
Although you can often get by just with English, from my own experience in France at least the locals really appreciate you making an effort even if you make mistakes. We Brits can be seen as arrogant if we make no effort at all with the language of the country we are visiting.
Phrase books are fine, and I certainly recommend one if you just want to refresh your memory or learn a few key phrases on the journey there. However, if you are prepared to put in a few extra hours so you get more from your holiday and really get to communicate with the locals then I highly recommend one of the
Linguaphone French Language courses.

The
Linguaphone CD-based Courses for Learning to speak French don't leave you struggling to work out the pronunciation by looking at the phonetic spelling, they show you how words are spoken the way a true French-speaking person says them - the correct pronunciation with the right intonation. You will only ever speak French with an British accent if you rely solely on a French phrase book's phonetic spelling.
Linguaphone offers two types of French courses for those wanting to learn the French Language:
Tourist French - 500 words and phrases for the holidaymaker, comprising 4 1-hour CDs and a phrase book
French AllTalk French Course - 16 1-hour CDs which help you learn to speak French without the use of books (although there is a small booklet which comes with it which lists the 2000 words which are introduced to you in this course).
