Now in a brand new full colour edition, Fa on de Parler 2 is the perfect follow-on from Fa on de Parler 1 or any other beginner's French course, and is specially designed for adult learners at intermediate level.
The coursebook has been revised and updated to cover a wide range of topics. Layouts have been streamlined and simplified to improve readability, while use of English is kept to a minimum in line with modern trends. Each unit contains:
- lively, illustrated dialogues and comprehension questions
- structured pair-work and group-work activities
- basic vocabulary and useful expressions
- grammar notes
- listening comprehension fully referenced to audio tracks (for work with the recordings)
There are also regular revision sections to consolidate the main topics and grammar points, and a grammar summary at the end of the book.
Fa on de Parler 2 is ideal for group work and will also be invaluable for individual study and revision purposes.
