This is a very clear well set-out book with short stimulating exercises. It is essential to use the audio tapes to gain full benefit from the course. The conversations are clearly spoken by native French speakers and all have a humerous approach. It is very important to link the printed word with the spoken word. This course succeeds admirably.The little Support book is a valuable addition. I would highly recommend Books 1 and 2 with their support material to anyone wanting to revise French or start from scratch.
