French: How to Speak and Write ItThis is probably the most delightful, useful and comprehensive elementary book available for learning spoken and written French, either with or without a teacher, Working on the principle that a person learns more quickly by example than by rule, the author has put together a book that abounds in sparkling, colloquial French conversations on a wide variety of subjects, plus superb grammar, vocabulary and idiom studies presented through French sentences that demonstrate the language rather than merely describe it. |
