Review
"It is rare to find a French textbook that manages so well to keep the grammar explanations so simple and effective. The activities that accompany the grammar explanations are very good because they are engaging and not boring. I love how the activities are interactive and give ample opportunities to students to practice with fun."
"MOTIFS is a very easy textbook to teach from. I coordinate many new instructors and graduate student TAs, and all have found MOTIFS easy to lesson plan from and effective in class. For most students, MOTIFS works very well for learning the French language."
