I'm currently a French 1 student. On Y Va was the first French textbook introduced to me. The book has a lot of information. It teaches beginners: verbs (-er, -re, ir etc.), nouns (table, chaise, the, boisson etc.), conjugation (have, need, want etc.), culture and many more. When a new subject was introduced, such as different conjugation, there were many sentences written in English and then translated into French. The exercices were repetitive, but it leaves the concept in our minds strongly. I took a placement test at another school. I knew my concepts very well. However, when I took the test, I did not pass. A lot of the information that the other school learned was quite different from what I learned. There shouldn't be that big of a difference between 2 books. That part gave me the most disappointment. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to French beginners.
