Product Description

Product Description
Are you looking for a course to help you achieve A-level standard in French? Perhaps you are taking the language up again after a break from it? 'Teach Yourself Improve your French' is the ideal way to extend your language skills if you already have some knowledge of French. Whether you've completed 'Teach Yourself French' or any other beginners' French course, either by yourself or at evening class, you will find this the perfect course for building on your existing knowledge and improving your spoken and written language. The book covers a wide range of topics of the sort you will want to talk about when in France and teaches you the kind of everyday language and features of speech that will enable you to communicate with confidence and feel comfortable taking part in conversation with native speakers of French. The choice of material aims to give you something of the flavour of France today and each unit is based around a single theme with lively interviews and conversations on the accompanying recording. There are activities based on the interviews and texts to help you remember what you've learnt and put your knowledge into practice.The units are divided into sessions -- to help you organize your learning time and break up the material into manageable chunks - and there are reminders throughout to refresh your memory of points you have learnt. The accompanying CDs are available separately (0 340 87063 X) or in a pack with the book (0 340 87062 1).

4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic title, 6 Aug 2006
By Mme Pynn Ann "Ann" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book has been the most useful of all the stuff I bought when the decision was made to move to France. (This book was bought at Waterstone's at Bluewater - the other stuff - a bit less useful - was bought through Amazon) It sorted out a number of things I half-understood from school (sub "O" level), holidays -usually camping, sometimes hotels, work trips where no real French was spoken and living in France for seven months.

It was hard work for me as an averagely bright 58 year old. French neighnours have said my French has improved
