About this title

Synopsis

This completely interactive language learning course is designed for students who want to learn French but prefer to teach themselves rather than participate in a formal classroom setting.

Included with the book are four audio CDs, three of them presenting dialogues and exercises, and the fourth focused especially for travel situations in France. The course concentrates on proficiency in speaking and understanding French in the context of informal conversations, travel situations, making purchases, and verbally finding one s way around in international settings. It is an ideal introduction to French for business and vacation travelers. The book is heavily illustrated with color photos and illustrations, as well as hundreds of question-and-answer exercises.
