Customer Reviews

Great for those with rusty french!!
As a mature Uni student studying french again for the first time in 20 years I found this book useful, informative and relevant.
Each section covers a different topic that can be relevant for you whether just visiting or living in France and provides excellent vocabulary lists and grammar exercises to get those french brain cells working again!
