4.0 out of 5 stars Suited to beginners but might bore the more mature student, 21 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Facon De Parler: Support Book Pt.1 (Audio Cassette)

A nice set and way beyond the average phrase-book level. Each of the 21 lessons introduces one or more features of grammar, new vocabulary and everyday situations, many involving eating - so you may have to watch the calories if you try the results in France. The course does teach and quite well - obviously what you get from it reflects what you put in but half an hour a day should yield a comprehension and skill adequate for holidays in tourist spots in about a year.
I'm not sure it would help in remote parts of Provence or inland rural areas. Best to get a bit into Part 2 with such ambitions.
My gripe is that the voices are exaggerated at times (if you imitate them you'll acquire a good accent but they really are extreme!) and the subject matter is often trivial - gossiping about gossip and children being cheeky to their parents and that. No doubt such a level of conversation does exist in France as it does everywhere but I'd have happily traded that for something on using the post office, the bank, and more chic teen stuff, since we're at this level. The sort of clothes sold in the book's idealised shop, for example, might suit the customer of Galleries Lafayette but not the "punk rawker" or average teen - in my view anyway. Then, there isn't even a mention of the internet, let alone conversation on using it. Also, as with any audio-book styled learning, there really isn't enough listening practice material.

I've used this set in an adult education class and the humour gave people a few laughs. I had to look elsewhere for internet/web-speak when I wanted to tell others in the class about various sites...then, of course, they had to turn elsewhere to understand!
That does not detract from the excellent value this set represents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 17 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This book was a huge help for my studies of French. It was not our course textbook but I bought it as an extra to do work at home on top of my studies. Unlike many text book, this one is far from boring - it is actually very amusing. I would definately recommend Facon de Parler(buy the set with the tape so that you can do the listening exercies).

4.0 out of 5 stars French Language, 5 May 2009

By	Val in the NW (UK) - See all my reviews

Excellant book for using in conjuction with a class. Does have a little too much character reference in the early part. Contains very useful revision tables. Book 2 isn't as helpful as advances too fast if you are not working though it in a structured class environment. FdeP1 should have been issued with CD's not cassettes. FdeP2 does have CDs
