Complete French All-in-One (Practice Makes Perfect) (French and English Edition)

Bought this recently, and have been using it since. It is very easy to understand with a lot of exercises for practice. It helps with clarifying grammar for the 'not so new' learner of French (I needed help with the fundamentals, that's why I bought it). A good buy to supplement other grammar books.

This is a really good book that I'm happy I purchased. It is chop full of vocabulary and exercises. But just like anytime one is learning a language, a book can't provide everything needed. This book, a good dictionary, some additional reading text, and a good speaking partner will give you a very good foundation for french.

I am very impressed with this book. I have been taking immersion classes in France and wanted to prepare for my next set. I picked up several French grammar books (I am intermediate) but I find this one is most helpful. She gives great explanations of why things are the way they are. Exercises with the answers in the back. I am working through it at 20 pages a day. Very helpful!

Make sure you have a clear idea of WHAT THIS BOOK IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT before you make the purchase. What it is not: A workbook for beginning learners of french. What it is: A thorough grammatical resource It does not begin with the basic building blocks of a language: How to introduce yourself, how to say where you're from, indispensible verbs like "to be" "to have" "to go" and their different forms, basic phrases like "how are you?," etc. Instead, the third exercise has you reading a small story (98% of the vocabulary you will not have encountered) and filling in the missing accents. The fourth exercise has you translating sentences like "the cold winter in this city is the main handicap for our grandparents." This is before any coverage of basic family member vocabulary. I regret having spent $30 on this book thinking it would be a good starting point for learning French. I just hope that in the future, after I have some familiarity with the basics, it proves to be a useful resource in my journey learning this language.

i like this product becaose it gives me all the information that i need in order to upgrade my knowledge in french

The real fine points of French grammar, syntax and vocabulary are contained herein. Easy reference to use with lots of examples.

Very detailed background on the French language. It does not start with the basics, though. It assumes you have some knowledge of the language. Arrived in a timely manner.

this contained all the grammar to really get moving on french. I have made nice progress and recommend it to serious learners who use grammar texts.

What an amazing resource. So pleased with the depth and detail contained within. As the title suggests it absolutely is an all in one. Highly recommended.

Good study books if you already understand French at an intermediate level as there is no English translation to help learn the French.

If you can only buy one French language book for learning, then this should be the one. It covers most aspects of the language and has hundreds of questions to test your learning. I've read a lot of French study books and am most impressed by this one. Having said that, this book is massive and very heavy. I used it on my commute for a couple of months and was glad to finish it, just to save me carrying the weight and bulk around. Having waded through this, I've bought other (thinner and lighter) books in this series to beef up some more on certain aspects that I found more difficult.

Thorough and well-written. The author employs easily understandable and detailed explanations of each topic. I refer to this book often. Je l'aime.

So far so good... but I haven't gotten into it yet so can't say much else.
