Customer Reviews

French book

This book came in better shape than I expected. We bought it so my son would have an extra text book for his middle school French class at home and would not have to lug his book back and forth every day. It is working out great. Thanks for prompt service.

A remarkably well organised book

Although undeniably written for a younger adolescent audience, this textbook introduces very clearly the principles of the French language that one would find even in a much higher level book such as "Parallèles, Communication et Culture," and is intended for an audience with no background in French. Nearly all French words and phrases are introduced with the English translation upon being first introduced. One aspect of this book that places it among my favourite textbooks is that new vocabulary and grammatical concepts are clearly separated from the main text in individual boxes, allowing one to quickly locate a forgotten word or point of grammar. One should not be discouraged from using this book simply because of the age of its intended audience, because one will not learn "kiddie French" or some such grotesque thing.

Great Workbook

I bought this workbook for my son to assist him in his French class. The book was very useful and reiterated concepts taught in the text.

Excellent Book!

I liked this book very much. The book is a review of "Bleu". It reviews everything that one has learned from "Bleu" and goes on to teach, one, more French. My vocabulary has increased as well as my passion to learn more. I must say though, that if you are just looking to pass a class or something, then I wouldn't bother. French is a somewhat difficult language. If you are serious in learing french, this book along with "Bleu" and "Rouge" are excellent begining books. "Blanc" allows you to see what life is like in France, in their "Note de culturelle" The only semi-difficult thing is, that the excercises descriptions are written in french, so unless you know a little french, you will have a hard time completing the excercises. But other than that, it's really a great book.
