Adrienne
French in 32 Lessons
The rapid and practical way to master
the basics and begin speaking the language. The book gives
you the essential, simplified grammar plus 3000 of the
most-used wordswords and idiomatic phrases that people use in
real-life situations. The book can be used as a self-learner by
beginners and also by those who want to brush up.
Adrienne's key to teaching a language is to eliminate
"the boring repetition of inane exercises." She emphasizes
vocabulary, and lots of it (grammar will then come naturally);
frequent tests (indispensable if you want to learn the language
in less than ten years); and writing right away, maybe
describing your house or job. Jump in!
