Reviews for Facon de Parler 1 French for Beginners Coursebook 5th Ed
This book has made learning so much easier and more fun. I have the CD on my laptop and can listen to the short dialogues in between other work. The units are also of a manageable length and so I tend to dip in and out of them throughout my working day. ... I can heartily recommend this publication. - Amazon user June 2011 It has a nice broad outlook and progresses slowly but surely. Grammar inserts are also helpful. For adult groups it is an excellent book. - Amazon user June 2010 This French course is very well known and highly effective: it is widely used in adult education classes ... I recommend it unreservedly. - Amazon user June 2010
