A great system for learning French
When I began studying French in 7th grade, this was my first textbook. As I progressed, I went through the following books in the series (Viens Voir and C'est Ca). Since that time I have used a number of other books and taken courses using other textbooks, and I can honestly tell you that this series is the best one I've used. New vocabulary words are introduced with pictures, never listed next to English words. Sample conversations are given showing the words in context, followed by readings taken from authentic French sources. Each chapter presents about 4-5 new grammar lessons in a clean and concise manner, making them easy to understand. The exercises given help to practice not only the new grammatical concept but also require you to use vocabulary words from several chapters ago -- something which really helped me to learn the words and not forget them! Finally, each chapter is focused on a theme which teaches you about French culture, not only in France but also in the general French-speaking world. (Side note: this series is getting older, so I doubt that the cultural information is current). I would encourage anyone who wants to enjoy themselves while gaining a working knowledge of French to use these books -- they have been the best ones I've come across. Enjoy!
