4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book, August 3, 2000

By 

MIichael Holder (Church Hill, Christ Church Barbados) - See all my reviews

This review is from: French for Beginners (Passport's Language Guides) (Hardcover)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too busy and confused for kids, but good for adults, September 30, 2009

This review is from: French for Beginners (Internet Linked) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with French, April 13, 2009

This review is from: French for Beginners (Internet Linked) (Paperback)

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!
