Paper not the best but as a workbook for study not going to keep using forever. Easy to recycle or donate. Exercises are clearly structured. Delivery was prompt.

Great product

Definitely not for an absolute beginner, but if you have some background (intermediate) and don’t know where to start, it speeds up the process, planning to buy other books of this series or else support it with a different publishers books as well.

I am a graduate in French but that was 40 years ago. Found this an effective and quick way of revising old knowldge and skills.

This is a very clear and easy to use beginners guide which also covers quite complicated constructions. Thoroughly recommend.

Entirely lived up to expectations. Very clear, comprehensive and easy to understand textbook.

I'm following a French course and bought this as supplementary material for self study. For me it is perfect, but without following the course I would be a bit lost as the book does not discuss every concept that is not directly relevant to the topic of the chapter. For example, in the first chapter, there are exercises to practice present tense conjugation - but gendered nouns and the plural indefinite article are not discussed. How can you write a proper sentence then?

Excelente libro para usar de guía con bases previamente adquiridas en clases o empíricamente, sí eres completamente principiante también es útil pero tendrás que investigar además muchas cosas más desde pronunciación y comprensión lectora/auditiva. En resumen, un excelente libro si eres principiante o si eres avanzado y quieres refrescar tus conocimientos mediante algunos ejercicios para practicar.

I was a little reluctant to purchase this due to the reviews about the quality of the paper, but they have fixed the issue and the paper is certainly think enough now.

Excellent French grammar book for all levels. Great review of grammar and vocabulary. Layout is very logical and easy to follow. Helpful exercises in each chapter.

Excellent, comprehensive grammar book. I used to speak French fluently, if inaccurately but lack of practice and general laziness has allowed my proficiency to decline to the point where I can no longer follow even simple conversations. I decided to try to repair that and this book provides a chapter-by-chapter course to do so. The explanations and examples are so good that I often don't remember their being explained so well when I was in grade school. There are exercises that reinforce the learning and handy vocabulary lists applicable to the explained grammar. The chapters are well divided into French verbs, tenses and idioms are well covered. My progress is quite slow because I am continually revising what I have learned but I am already aware that my familiarity with the language is increasing. The big question is whether I can transfer the book learning to speaking but that isn't the books job.
