Façon de Parler 2 5ED: Course Pack (Facon de Parler)

I particularly like the way that it revises language covered in Book 1. The exercises are varied and imaginative. Essential grammar is covered in the lessons and there is a comprehensive reference section at the back of the book. New vocabulary is presented at a more accelerated rate than in book 1 and students are expected to use a dictionary. This book provides a good grounding for serious learners who want to progress beyond beginners level.

I have studied 4 other similar books. This book has explanations in English which is helpful,however, other books are complete &comprehensive learning packages as they have Answers to exercises section ,and transcripts to audio CDs section all included in the book and sold as a comprehensive package together with the audio CDs ( e.g. BBC French Experience or Festival). This book does not include the Answer to exercises & you have to go on line & find the Answers. Transcripts to the CDs are not in the book as well. The book is sold either with or without the audio CDs which can be confusing at the time of purchase. In my opinion, language courses should be sold as a comprehensive learning packages. All in all it is not a comprehensive learning package like the other books.The content of all the books That I have studied are similar butThis book is no as user friendly as the other books for this reason I give it two stars.

I've not started book 2 yet so I am basing my score weighted on Book 1, which is very good.

clear easy steps

Very comprehensive French Language tuition book. I plumped for the intermediate course even though it is 45 years since I failed French O Level, and it is just about perfect for my level.

Needed for my French course. Easy to follow and good to get a head start before my course restarts in the Autumn

Class likes the book

Fantastic condition and speedy discovery and an immensely useful book for anyone learning French, the CDs are great to have in the car to help with a more immersive learning experience.
