Customer Reviews

French Reader
This has been an excellent buy. I have a reasonable grasp of French already and have also completed the three Pimsleur courses. It has helped improve my French vocabulary having the English text available for a check. The stories are interesting in themselves and increase in level as you go through the book.
Not for the beginner but a great aid to improving your French once you have made some progress. I can also recommend the Pimsleur technique for spoken French.
