5.0 out of 5 stars The grammar section alone is worth twice the price, October 23, 2002
By 
Rick N. (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conversational French in 20 Lessons (Cortina Method) (Paperback)
If you were to rip this book in half and just keep the reference grammar section, you'd still have a bargain. The twenty lessons are excellent and are also a bargain on their own. Compare this book to everything else on the shelves at your favorite bookstore, compare its price to the prices of the others, and you'll soon learn that by that scale any Cortina "20 lessons in Conversational (whatever language)..." is worth four times what it costs. The free tape they offer is merely a promo and not overly helpful, but the book is top notch. In short: the best bang for the buck out there, period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cortina taught me French, September 25, 2000
By 
Anna Thomas (Fayetteville, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conversational French in 20 Lessons (Cortina Method) (Paperback)
The Cortina series are awesome. I have the French nad the German books in this series. I have always thought French was beyond my abilities. I love languages but French always seemed heard. But with the Cortina it was easy to sound the words out and once I got the free tape that they include a postage paid card for, I had French down pat. Eventually I want to learn 10 languages plus my native English! I highly recommend this book.

This is an excellent book for beginners! My son was able to pick it up and immediately use it. The lessons are easy to understand. It is a well written book and was well worth the money. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn French.
