Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This entertaining and easy-to-follow course is for people who want to concentrate on the essentials of practical communication in French - and to ignore the rest. It is ideal for the adult learner considering a holiday in France, who has either learnt no French before or is conscious of having learnt 'the wrong kind'. The content is based on what a traveller would need to say when on holiday in France in predictable, and some amusingly unpredictable, situations. The first part deals with 'What you will need to say' and covers simple grammar points as they arise. The second part lets the learner loose on what he or she has learned in the first part, in a variety of practical situations. The accompanying cassettes provide lively examples and give short, memorable bursts of practice. A particularly attractive feature of the book are the cartoons by Celia Weber.

Book Description
An entertaining course for beginners and for those who want to make "a new start" with an increased emphasis on everyday survival language. The accompanying cassettes provide models and give essential language practice.

5 out of 5 stars Well written and effective.   March 26, 2010

This is by far my favourite of the French text books I have used over the years. It is easy to follow and effective.

It also has very entertaining illustrations that really lighten the mood when one is hard at work learning french.
