5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss the CD-ROM that comes with it, April 29, 2007

Books of word lists are everywhere, but this book has the tool that allows you to actually assimilate the words: the CD-ROM that comes with it. It has a fantastic, user-friendly flash card program that helps you absorb the words. There are probably a couple hundred words already entered into the program, some with pictures, all with a french native pronouncing the words. You can enter your own words (or phrases containing hundreds of characters) and practice them. You can store words and phrases in categories to retrieve later. So, as you learn new words and phrases from anywhere, like TV, magazines, conversation, you can enter them and review them later.

I wasn't expecting much from this book....it's a book of words. I didn't think they'd really help me that much. But I really like it, it's set up perfectly, it has example sentences at the end of each section, as well as quizes. And it could not be MORE thorough. I'm very happy with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, May 9, 2008

This review is from: 6,000+ Essential French Words with CD-ROM (Essential Vocabulary) (Paperback)

The book is ok. There are lots of words, however I didn't buy this for just a book of words.I had hoped to hear them pronounced. The CD doesn't work well I can only open it in the applications folder of my computer. And what there is is just like another product I have called 'French before you know it' Maybe I received a 'bad' CD. It is not well put together.There are many other ways to learn French on your own that are much better.
I'm Very disappointed.
