  • Prefer Schaum's French Grammar for price/brand, but this has been helpful, IF you ignore their pronunciation
Great for written language, BUT Schaum's French Grammar is still cheaper, includes verbs & I feel I get the same stuff out of it. Plus Schaum's does not use absolutely horrible Americanized pronunciation like Easy French does. This does have a pronunciation section, but I would say a lot of it is honestly HARMFUL to your pronunciation. For example, "I with a little n" is how they describe pronouncing "un." They do mention it is a nasal vowel, but pronouncing un like ih(n) or ee(n) which is the only possible thing I can see coming out of "i", is NOT what you want, especially if you are just starting out. I do like it for grammar, but I'm not a fan of the brand (McGraw Hill). It is far better than their "Ultimate" French Review(/ Verb Review). It is more concise, easier, does not feel like a tome like Ultimate Review does, & it is better even though Easy French does not have a CD like Ultimate Review. All of these (McGraw Hill) books suck for pronunciation. Some of it is okay, but most will not help you. You can use forvo.com / rhinospike.com for free pronunciation recordings. Plus I feel like CDs that come in some books are INSANELY fast for a beginner. For pronunciation, it is far better to get a "speaking" book like: 1. See it & Say it in French &/ 2. The Berlitz Self-Teacher French You certainly do not need both, but speaking/PRONUNCIATION practice is key to remembering a language. I find them both extremely helpful. ... show more

  • Satisfied
It doesn't come with an audio CD, but it is a very friendly book that will help you to understand the basic about grammar. Also have a lot of exercises to practice (writting). I recommen this book to people who starts learning French, it is gonna be very helpfull! I'm starting with my French classes, and I am complementing pretty well my class with the explanation that gives this book. The price is economic for a book that really helps. ... show more

  • EASY? NO WAY! A bad fit for any level of learner
I took French in HS for 2 years and now, 20 years later, have been working on an app for 4 months. I was surprised at how well I remembered! But, I get confused sometimes on some of the rules, so thought I would get this book to brush me up, teach me some new things, and if anything, breeze through the first few chapters and feel good about how much I do know. Ummm - NO. This book, expects people to already know a ton of French, and yet know nothing as a beginner. For example, the first chapter is about nouns and their articles (the, a) and plurals. Good at explaining how they work, but then in the exercise area, you are to fill in definitions of nouns that aren't even introduced in the chapter. And for some reason, they are stupid nouns that no beginner or tourist needs to know (I.e "realism"). I spent more time looking up definitions online than I did reading the whole chapter. How do they expect you to know nouns before they even use them? This book is neither helpful, interesting or encouraging - I would strongly recommend against it for anyone in the beginner/intermediate stage. And yet, I wouldn't recommend it for advanced learners as it is all about the basics of grammar, which they would already know. So, I guess I recommend this book to no one. If I hadn't already written in it, it would be going back tout de suite!! ... show more

  • An accompanying CD would have been nice, without it the book should at least provide ...
The book explains the grammar simply and has a variety of exercises for practice. It also introduces a lot of new vocabulary. The only issue I have with the book is that there is not phonetic pronunciation key to accompany the vocabulary words. I have no idea whether or not I am pronouncing a word correctly. An accompanying CD would have been nice, without it the book should at least provide a guide for each word. ... show more

  • Very Helpful and Would Certainly Recommend
This book is great for French learning. I’m using this book with a few other resources, including the Basic French workbook, which has audio. So the issue that this book has is that even though it was published in 2008, they still haven’t added audio through the app like this publisher has for many of their other books (like Basic French). However, if you’re someone who’s learning to speak any language, it is best for you to use multiple resources anyway. So those other resources can be the ones for listening to audio and getting familiar with the sounds of real speech by using programs like Glossika for sentence mining or other online/app courses. So to be honest, unless you were only using this book and nothing else for speaking practice, I don’t think the lack of audio is really that big of a problem, although it would make it better. Also it clearly doesn’t have audio, so I’m not sure why people buy it and then give it a bad rating on here for not having audio? That’s kind of odd. Other than that, this book makes learning the grammar and general ins and outs of French easy, and overall has been a great tool to create a foundation for further learning. Everything is in a logical order and it has a lot of great, realistic exercises and high frequency vocabulary. After just the first two chapters you’ll be able to read and speak basic sentences, and I would imagine the book can take you to a low-mid intermediate level, which is about what the average beginner level book does. No one method/app/book will work for everyone, but if you aren’t sure which book to buy on Amazon, this has been a great one for me ... show more
