"I am very impressed by the LIAISONS program. The grammar sections are outstanding; the way that vocabulary is presented is engaging and pedagogically sound; the readings are relevant; the film looks interesting, and students are led to think critically and express themselves creatively. I am excited about this book."
"A well-integrated program that provides a detailed and entertaining introduction to the study of French in a novel and creative manner."
"A rich and modern textbook trying to address present-day students with intercultural activities and questions that speak to them."
"The vocabulary and grammar presentations are excellent. They provide students with rich resources for skills development"
"[The] activities are engaging because the focus is on meaning. This in my opinion is the best part of this textbook. Students are engaged in a real task where they are trying to find information, compare it, organize it, share it, they are observing, deciphering, drawing conclusions, etc. I think the activities are well paced, there is a good flow."
