Summary: Excellent Guide to Learning French
Comment: I am currently using this wonderful book by Gail Stein, who is "well-known language instructor who has taught in New York City public schools for over 20 years."

The book contains 26 chapters, and is very well organized. It contains tons of useful vocabulary and lots of useful information on grammar, idioms, etc. There is an ample number of exercises with the answers, so that the learning process is an interactive one.

I also like the book because of it's light-hearted approach. The lessons are fun, and her helpful and amusing comments make the book easy to read.

Another great thing about this book is that it teaches you right from the beginning how to pronounce French words correctly, something that many French language books don't do. In addition, most of the french words are followed by their pronounciation in paranthesis, for example: l'ami (lah mee). Because of this, you will be able to learn how to speak and understand verbal French, not only read and write it.

There is enough information in this book so that, with dedication and time, you can achieve an intermediate level of French using this book alone, which is what the book's goal is to do.

The book is very inexpensive, and a great value. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn French at the beginner's level.

Summary: A Review on French
Comment: Being in Canada, I've taken French classes from junior kindergarten up through grade 13. If pressured, I could remember most of what I was taught, but I would forget some niceties.

This book helped me review all of my tenses, the irregular and regular verbs, and improved my fluency a great deal. After throwing out all of my old Francais notes, it's handy to have them all compacted into one convenient, moderate-sized book.

This is a handy tool for people wanting to learn, or those of us who just forgot.

Summary: Best found to date!
Comment: I am an American who recently moved to Geneva Switzerland. I have been exploring several methods for learning the local language during the past few months: I have computer software (French Now!), CDs (M. Thomas) and about 8 books. This is by far the best book for a beginner who learns well via the printed word. It is very well organized, and, most importantly (the biggest strength of the book), it starts with pronounciation and then gives phonetic pronounciation for all new words throughout the book. There is a tremenous amount of information here, and very few practice exercises, so you will have to take your time to internalize the information.
