The workbook is essential, but it must be stressed that to learn effectively, you also need the audio tapes and the videos. They are often available on the air or in the library, however, you need to study them more than one time through to pick up language nuances.

All dealings with Amazon was very easy. Rating - C'est vraiment excellent! BEST language book!

The "French only" method seems to me almost idiotic. It didn't work for me and I know I am not alone. I love French and have kept my eyes on all the self-study French courses available in the States. Besides, French may not change much but the video is around 20 year old. see more reviews See all books by author Pierre Capretz, Beatrice Abetti, Thomas Abbate, Frank Abetti
