Synopsis
This course in French is designed for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing French with confidence. Aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it can also be used by anyone wanting to brush up existing knowledge or refresh rusty language skills for a holiday or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 25 thematic units, progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to looking for work and buying a house in France. The course covers all structures required for GCSE and beyond. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and tips throughout to help with pronunciation and grammar. Cultural information boxes give advice and information for anyone planning a trip to France. There is a revision unit at the back of the book so that learners can check their progress and review areas of difficulty. This new edition has been updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro and the Internet.
There is also an English-French vocabulary to go alongside the existing French-English vocabulary and reference to over 70 websites for sources of real French in use. The page design has been improved and section headings given in English to make the course easier to use for the self-access learner. The accompanying recording has been increased to two cassettes containing approximately 150 minutes of listening material.About the Author
