5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Easy French , April 5, 2008
This engaging introduction to French is a wonderful way for adult students to learn the basics of the language and useful information about the history and culture of France and other French-speaking countries. To brush up my rusty vocabulary and grammar I enjoyed dipping into the various chapters and reading the informative sidebars. Recommended for any age.
