FANTASTIC!

I love this book! It gives you casual French and definitely helps with conversation. I love how it's organized and the illustrations aren't just fun - they help you orient yourself to the information on the page. Also, they contribute to learning and retention; language is mostly on the left hemisphere of the brain; graphics are mostly on the right. Any time, in learning, when you use additional parts of the brain, you increase your retention. I would like audio... perhaps a URL where they have native French speakers? That would be nice. SUMMARY: This is great supplemental material. The reader needs to understand French pronunciation or have someone guiding him/her. I really like the colloquial and slang in this book, the organization is splendid, and it definitely enhances communication. I highly recommend it.

An entertaining book.

This book is just what I expected. It will be a fun read and will fill in the gaps in my Fench which will enable me to better understand and to speak casual French. It may also help me to better understand rapid casual dialogue in French films. Je jubile!
