Product Description
Product Description
This work offers the shortest route to mastering verb conjugations. One of the greatest challenges in learning a language is mastering verb conjugations. The books in the unique "Language Verb Drill" series make it easier than ever for learners to meet that challenge. Drilling, whether it's for learning a musical instrument, a sport, or a language, is an essential part of a sound education because repeated, concentrated practice makes specialized skills become second nature. Unlike most verb books, which tend to concentrate on tables of conjugations, the books in the "Language Verb Drills" series allow students to focus exclusively on building mastery of verbs without being distracted by other elements of grammar. Combining the features of a workbook and reference manual, they clearly and systematically explain how a verb system works while providing numerous drills for practice. These revised editions of the popular study guides now include a final review section to reinforce the reader's ability to automatically select the correct verb form.

Must have for the serious student: too intense for the casual,
By
This review is from: French Verb Drills (Language Verb Drills) (Paperback)
I bought this book whilst living in a French speaking country and working at a European Union institution, for both of which knowledge of French was essential. I was instantly impressed with its quality, and its no nonsense approach to French. Far from more "all round" courses which aim to make learning pleasant, this book presupposes a level of interest and commitment that means there are no pictures or cultural notes. Just the language itself.
The book has a common format. A brief and direct introduction to the verb tense being explored, followed by LOTS of example exercises, where our knowledge of the verb tense just taught is tested to destruction point. All of the major tenses are covered, including rarer tenses that only tend to crop up in historical and technical usage of French. The book is a must have for anyone who is truly serious about improving their French for professional and personal purposes. The price is also extremely good in terms of "price-paid-to-skills-gained" ratio, so I cannot recommend this highly enough to the serious student. Students with a more casual interest in French may find it is not for them.

No frills drills!,
By
This review is from: French Verb Drills (Language Verb Drills) (Paperback)
This book gives a brief overview of each verb tense and then is packed to the rafters with question after question - exactly what you need to master this essential part of any language. Verbs which change their spelling and irregular verbs are handled after the regular verbs and special consideration is made of the most important two verbs, etre and avoir. This book is such good value and does its job so well it is a shame they don't do several such books per language. One obvious tip is use a pencil - you will want to do these drills over and over again.

This review is from: French Verb Drills (Language Verb Drills) (Paperback)
A really excellent book for serious French study with good clear explanations of the intracacies of French verbs and conjugation. If you are prepared to put in the study time, this book will take you a long way.
