Not very clear

Customer Rating:

This work book gives a thorough workout, including interesting pieces from a wide range of french newspaper articles, poetry and literature. However, the grammatical points made and the examples given are not particularly clear and so finding the right answers to many of the excercises feels like guess-work. It also keeps referring back to the first book in an attempt to make you buy both. I gave up half way through. When I first got this book and saw that the one of the recommendations on the back was from an Amazon reviewer, it gave away that they probably couldn't find anyone else to recommend it...

DISAPOINTING

Customer Rating:

Before each exercise there is very little explanation on how to complete it, also there is no english translation for any of the french sentances. This is because you need another book called "French Grammar and Usage" as explained in the user guide. In "French Grammar and Usage" (althought I don't have the book)explains fully how to use ce qui, dont, y, en etc. Then you use this book to practice. If I had known I would have brought "French grammer usage" instead. I live in france and speak french quite fluently therfore vocabulary is of no problem. I just wanted to perfection my grammar. I wouldn't recommend this book on it's own due to lack of explanation.

A really useful book for the intermediate/advanced student..	Customer Rating:
This is a very useful book - I'm using it to revise my rusty French grammar and it's helping enormously. It's modern (I'm only on chapter 2 and already I've come across email and space probes!) and has occasional jokes and cartoons in French to lighten things up a bit. I'd recommend it for anyone in my position...
