I am an eigth grader and I've been using the On y Va series since sixth grade. They are full of great exercises, so you really do learn French. These books, however, are hard to follow as a beginner in French. I do not suggest this book for somebody who intends to be self taught. If you do though, start out with book one and work your way up, or else you'll be lost. I also highly recommend the workbooks.
