Very useful for beginners, this book presents the language in small skits around the daily activities. It presents phrases that are useful in any situation and vocabulary concerned. By cons, grammar seems to have missed the appointment and I would advise you to buy as Progressive Grammar of the French, even beginners level editor to fill this gap. The CD is essential for efficient use of the book, whether in the classroom or for individual study.
A very good book for begihnners, presenting Useful Phrases and vocabulary in little dialogue around topics of real daily usefulness. The grammar is weak Rather, if not totally absent, this goal can be made up for by buying the great Progressive Grammar of French, beginners level from the same publishing house. You really need the CD to get the best from the book.
