4.0 out of 5 stars Good, basic French, March 21, 2000

This review is from: Learn French the Fast and Fun Way: With French-English English-French Dictionary (Barron's Fast and Fun Way Language Series) (French Edition) (Paperback)

This is a good book for learning the very basics of French without "drilling" you to sleep. However, I strongly recommend purchasing the book as part of the set that has four audio cassettes. The tapes will teach you correct pronunciation and help you more with retention. The book covers basic grammar, has fun illustrations, and puzzles. Fun for all ages

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be better, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn French the Fast and Fun Way: With French-English English-French Dictionary (Barron's Fast and Fun Way Language Series) (French Edition) (Paperback)

The book intends on getting the reader ready for a trip to France using a typical situation (in a comical matter) to practice conversation; which is great. But, it does lack explanations of sentence structures. It is highly recommended that you obtain the audio packages, if you are going to a French speaking country or province. And also a proper dictionary to accompany your studies. I am planning on getting French from Pimsleur Pimsleur to practice conversation dialogues. However, to be honest, it's quite fun just reading the book itself; good for a starter that's in a hurry.
