I used this book to begin to learn french. My teacher was from Nice. She taught me using the book in a way that just seemed so easy. I think this book does a wonderful job of teaching french.
Very African

The inductive grammar philosophy that apparently guided the writing of this book is good, but the listening and reading input sections are heavily biased toward French-speaking Africa. It's as if the authors were determined to convince beginning French students that Africa is the only interesting place French is spoken anymore.
