I had to use this book for French 101 in college. I don't recommend it, if you're not being forced to purchase it. The culture sections do contain a lot of helpful and interesting information about France and the other French-speaking countries, but the book has a nasty habit of not explicitly defining the vocab words it introduces. Many of the nouns come in the form of little drawings, with the French underneath. If the picture is unclear (which they tend to be), you'll have to check the French-English dictionary in the back. Most of the words they use are there, but not all of them. In those cases, grab a bigger dictionary or Google Translate. I got my book used, and the person who I bought it from wrote many of the translations next to the words, which helped me out a lot.

I understand that a foreign language textbook can use words that it doesn't explicitly define, but it shouldn't be doing it when introducing the basic chapter vocab words.

It came in time for my second class and the notes left on the pages are helpful since it translates some words for me. Thanks.

The book was in perfect condition, even though it was listed as used. there wasn't a single note or pen mark in it, and both of the cds were in their original sealed pouch, unused. In the french class I got it for, I paid the least for my book by about 40 bucks, and I am only comparing that to the other students that bought used. I cant say enough how pleased I was with this purchase. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SELLER!

I received this product within the time frame stated and it was exactly as described. I will definitely do business again!

The book is in pretty good condition. There's some writing, but the notes are helpful. Unfortunately this book is missing the first disc, but has the second one. The book is in tact and has no ripped or missing pages :)

Good book, in good condition. A little overpriced because i expected the workbook to be included but oh well!

Reasonably priced, shipped on time. Needed it for a college class and it was good.

I used this book for a college introductory course and it was much better than any that I had ever used in high school. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn french. The cd was also very helpful in helping me to learn how to pronounce.

I don't like this book, actually i am taking French in college now, this is the textbook for my elementary course. but i don't think it is a book for beginners, there are too much infor in one chapter. and it never makes it clear the grammar points/pronunciation, the CDs read very fast to catch up with.
