The Ultimate French Review and Practice: Mastering French Grammar for Confident Communication [With CDROM]

This is one of the best french grammar books I've seen. It is outlined beautifully and easy to comprehend. It describes things in the simplest of terms, therefore making it easy to understand. I tutor a high school student and I had her buy it. We usually teach the grammar from this book, not her class french book. The CD is superb. The exercises are great. It allows one to practice constantly. It definitely helps. I love this book. I recommend this to someone who is just starting out and the accomplished speaker.

I cannot rave enough about this book. First, it is extremely engaging and well-organized for a French grammar book. It is geared toward the Intermediate student (as, for example, the lesson instructions are in French). However, if you are an advanced beginner looking for a challenge, don't shy away. There are tons of exercises to reinforce your learning, including a CD with a diagnostic test and other learning tools (including some auditory dialogues). If you are looking for an excellent grammar book to supplement your auditory learning, I highly recommend this one!

The Ultimate French Review is the single best book I know for learning and reviewing basic principles of French grammar. It uses multiple and increasingly complex illustrations, and comes with a series of well presented CD's with French speakers. For those who have had some initial training in the language, this volume is the next logical step.

I've been trying to make the leap from high school French (many years ago) to being able to actually converse a bit and I've spent a fortune on books, text books, CDs, and have even hired a tutor. This book is, in my opinion, the most useful, concise and easiest to understand summary of the French language. It is truly the very best. A fantastic reference tool for anyone from high beginner and up. My thanks to the authors.

I am trying to relearn my French after many years. I am taking lessons and bought this book to reinforce what we are doing in class. It is excellent. The descriptions are clear and complete. There are zillions of exercises in each chapter with the answers in the back so it is easy to get instant feedback on how you are doing. I spent the morning working through the exercises on the IMPARFAIT and I think I have finally pounded it into my head. I definitely recommend this book.
