Thank you for publishing the, usborne language guides for beginners books and audio series. I am excited about learning other languages and have chosen the French for beginners as my stepping stone to success. We have found the contents though simple and basic to be useful which once understood and practised would provide the fundamental foundation needed.However there is one thing I would like to bring to your attention, and that is the ladies voice on the audio cassette is hardly audible, hampering our ability to gain the maximum satisfaction from this otherwise good product. My prayer is that the information provided will be of assistance to you.
Though I've only gone through the CD and book once, it's well formatted and easy to understand, because they've added some fun audio additions for you to listen for - ie -dog barking when they talk about 'le chien'...I think it's well organized and introduces every-day situations. Colorful and interesting, too!
I purchased this book for use with my young son and for that purpose it wasn't right; the pages are crammed with info and are far too confused for children. For some adults it might be perfect, but I found the style far too busy and ended up returning it. Pros are that it certainly contains masses of information and if you are patient and stick with it I'm sure you would learn a lot.
Our French program bought a lot of these for the kids whose ages range from 6 to 12 years old. Some of theme use them so much that the covers are already worn out. They all seem so happy to have this vocabulary book.
I do not have the audio with this book but...the book itself is awesome! It covers many words and has great pictures!
This was too fast for a beginner, he said a word and then repeated and moved to the next, but very fast. I was not able to use it at all
This book is a library treasure. We have this book in Italian, German and Spanish and it is great for ages 5 - adult. They are hard to get so we are thrilled to have them available for ourselves and our children.
Not the best out there. It's the typical self-taught language lessons with audio CDs and booklets. I felt it didn't really help me.
