5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text book!, June 25, 2003

This review is from: Son Et Sens (Hardcover)

Don't let the old publishing date fool you. It's a timeless textbook. There are great French lessons in this textbook. Today's books are so "clausterphobic", making it look like the page designers threw up on the page. This book looks less chaotic and has many helpful exercises.

1.0 out of 5 stars Superficial, poorly written, VERY low information density, November 24, 2008

By 

Jesse Taylor (North Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Son Et Sens (Hardcover)

This book is full of superficial conversations about homework, dating, and restaraunts ... Enormous amounts of space are wasted on useless stock photos of french teenagers holding hands, sitting in classrooms, and riding on trains. Instead of just saying "montagne -- mountain" ... they have to go and draw a picture of a mountain as if I didn't know what a mountain looked like.

In better textbooks, most of the pictures will be replaced with INFORMATION which will make you a better reader/writer/speaker of the French language. Over 50% of the space in this book is dedicated to pictures instead of the French language. Most of those pictures are uninformative and unnecessary.

This is a terrible book written for unmotivated middle schoolers who are forced to take a foreign language ... do not waste your money.
