Practice Makes Perfect: French Conversation, Premium Second Edition

This is an excellent and practical lesson book for learning daily conversation. But it could be better. Some of the phrases contain verb forms, but don't show the root infinitive. If you don't recognize the verb, or it's new to you, you have to look it up. The author could include a glossary of the verbs in the back.

This book is a good review if you already have at least a fair knowledge of the language. I am working with it daily and I feel it is helping me with the comprehension of ordinary French conversation.

We are homeschooling and badly needed a French workbook to supplement online classes. This works well for our teen who I would describe as an intermediate French student (he can read *Le Petit Prince* very slowly with the help of a dictionary). His tutor, who is actually France, approves of this book. She has noted some of the conversations involve French people talking as they would have spoken in the 1940s, but a slightly vintage feel is fine with us : )

The book is great and the online audio that supports every dialogue is very helpful

I have been learning French using an on-line tutor for three months, having taken French years ago in high school. I bought this book before taking a one-month vacation in France, and it was just what I needed. I memorized dialogues, which became the jumping off point for being able to engage in very simple conversations. There is an on-line help which allows you to train your ear and pronunciation. You have to already know something about French (I am at the most elementary level), but it gives life to what you are studying.

There are so many French textbooks that teach us to speak like a textbook instead of how people speak French in France! Sometimes this workbook has been helpful. There are plenty of exercises to practice and I also downloaded the app---directions are in the book--which is the best part of my purchase! The app has recordings and exercises for all of the dialogues in the book. Hopefully sometime soon, I won't be too shy to write this review in French instead of English ;)

I am relearning French after a few years since college study. It is even funner to learn now. Book is helpful in my quest to learn French.

Wonderful I have been taking french from an immersion school and using their books...all in french. Have now switched to private lessons and using a combination of all french and bilingual books. What a difference. This book is translated and has an app so one can listen to conversations as well.

The dialogues print not clear enough on iphone and keyboard kindle but can read it on ipad. Can they redo the kindle so the print is darker for the dialogues and slightly bigger. I suppose in the book it is fine but not on some kindles. I know you can make it bigger but then the page but it doesn't work. I hope the kindle gets an update to sort this outI would have not bought this as the dialogues are the main part of the book and then question on the dialogue so you have to be able to read it. Forutnately I can making bigger on my ipad but I do think it would be better to have darker print and slightly larger as they are an important part of the book

Very helpful learning tool.

Excellent. Well set out and easy to learn from. Also downloaded the app which works well with this.

Fantastic book, great practice with my students who all enjoy it. They learn to speak as the French do. The whole series is great .

Perfect for my Husband
