Book Overview: Full colour edition of Facon de Parler 1, the first part of the two-volume, highly illustrative and communicative best-selling French course designed to take adult beginners step by step through all the basic language skills needed for holiday, business or exam purposes.
This book has made learning so much easier and more fun. I have the CD on my laptop and can listen to the short dialogues in between other work. The units are also of a manageable length and so I tend to dip in and out of them throughout my working day.
... I can heartily recommend this publication.
