I'm not a French speaker or learner myself, but bought this as a gift for a friend who is tackling the language. I'm sure they'll enjoy it as it's quite fun compared to the dry language texts I had to wade through at school. It's interesting to see that some French idioms are quite similar to ours but have an unusual slant. For example, where we have 'Pushing up the daisies', they have 'Eating the daisies from the roots up'; we write 'Rubber cheques', and they write 'wooden' ones (like taking a 'wooden nickel'?). Others are quite surreal 'Falling backwards into apples' sound quite painful, but to the French this is a soft landing. Although it's amusing, the text is scholarly enough to be useful to the serious student and the cartoons are excellent. ... Read More:

4.Collins Easy Learning French Dictionary (Easy Learning Dictionary) from: Collins April 25, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.10
I have a copy of a previous edition of this 'easy learning' dictionary and a friend has the penultimate one to this latest copy. As such, I feel well-versed to comment... This new release is excellent. My wife and I, both in our 50's, are learning the language and we find this dictionary more than just a resource for looking up the meaning of words. It is a big help to us with our verb tables, especially the tenses and gives good grammatical breakdowns on many aspects of the language. Perhaps if there was more help with pronounciations, it could claim to be a language course in one book. But that aside, it is very, very, good value and we both love referring to it at every opportunity. Definitely five stars from us!

5.The Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: French-English, English-French by: Oxford Dictionaries May 10, 2007

this is huge big heavy dictionary with everything you need! in this case size matters for those who study languages, a smaller dictionary or a conscise version is insufficient. you will be pleased with what this dictinary offers and there is also a cd inside to aid you. it's the real deal.

7.French Experience 1 Language Pack and CDs (French Experience) by: Marie Therese Bougard, Anny King July 10, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £36.02 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £27.01 You Save: £9.01 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £22.91
I found this pack useful for the beginning of a french course. You can't listen to the CDs in the car though, you need to have the book in front of you, which I found frustrating. I wanted to listen on the way to work, so ended up getting free Podcasts to listen to - they were better than the CDs in this pack. Having said that, the book guides you through lots of different sections, such as food and travel, and the CDs have exercises on each section. In the book, there are transcripts of the CD interviews as well as paper based exercises and additional info like background details of France - although there are not many of these. The most useful thing I found about this course was the boxes in each section of the book called 'Info Langue' and 'Mot a ... Read More:

I've just started course 1 and I found the excercise book to be very similar to the excercises you get in a main book. I think I could get by without it, but it's allright if you have a few quid to spare.

9.Bescherelle Complete Guide to Conjugating 12000 French Verbs (English Edition) (Bescherelle 1) by: Bescherelle December 31, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.12
OK, so it is impossible to make a book like this interesting - at least for me. However, I have had this book for about six months, and I still find it's the first book I reach for when I get stuck. 82 verbs are given a whole page, with 16 tenses written out in full - which is plenty. Although the cover says that there are 12,000 verbs, only the 82 verbs are explained in detail, though these are the ones you'll want most frequently. After that you are referred to one conjugated in the same way as the one you are interested in. At first this niggled because I like to see the word on the page, but then the book would be huge if every single verb was written out. Please not that you need to know the French word you are looking for as this isn't a dictionary ... Read More:

10.Collins Easy Learning French Grammar from: Collins June 06, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.16
This book is perfect for anyone studying French at GCSE level or any intermediate learner. Key grammar points are simply explained and organised by the different parts of speech meaning it is easy to find what your looking for. If you are an advanced student, don't choose this book as you will already be familiar with most of the topics covered in this book, but if you're beginning in your studies this is an excellent reference book to get you started.
