Synopsis

Is your lack of vocabulary holding you back? Does your small bank of French words leave you tongue-tied? Using Tony Buzan's highly successful methodologies, Word Power will provide you with the language that you need to really start making your French work for you. If your vocabulary is what lets you down when you try to communicate in French, then this audio course is the answer. Revolutionize your French vocabulary with this fun new audio course full of creative activities and brain-busting tools. For many language learners the lack of sufficient vocabulary is a considerable stumbling block when attempting to communicate in a realistic way. To overcome this problem, vocabulary learning needs to be targeted and strategic. Word Power teaches learners how to consolidate key areas of vocabulary, as well as how to manipulate them and exploit them creatively to their best advantage. Learners will be encouraged and shown how to become more creative and accurate through a carefully selected set of vocabulary building units. More than 1,000 words are presented over the course of 2 CDs. Word Power breaks the new vocabulary into themed units, presenting a new topic in each of 15 units. Online activities offer the opportunity for further consolidation.

Review

Reviews of Collins Language Revolution: Beginner "I am astonished and proud to say that I feel I have a good grasp of Italian and can speak comfortably on everyday subjects. I find that the vocabulary I'm looking for seems to pop up in my head rather than deliberately absent itself as it has done in the past." Times Body & Soul "This is a great, fun way to learn. What makes it different is the interactive side; there is more to do and more of an opportunity to use creativity. I'll definitely use Mind Maps in future for learning any other languages I decide to study." Times Body & Soul "This really does do what it says on the box. It teaches you French that you really remember. Forget all these other courses, go for this one! I couldn't recommend it more." Amazon reviewer
