1.French: Beginner (Collins Language Revolution) by: Tony Buzan, Jonathan Lewis March 03, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 You Save: £10.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.00
I got this in what I thought would be a vain attempt to learn English before a trip to France. Not having spoken a word of French since my GCSE's (and even then it wasn't much!), I was not confident. The package, like other language products, comes with both audo cds and books. What makes the difference here is the layout, and the general presentation. It is extremely easy to pick up and learn. This then gives you the confidence to continue. There isn't anything here that hasn't been done before, but it has been put together incredibly well.

2.101 French Idioms (Language - French) by: Jean-Marie Cassagne, Luc Nisset January 01, 2000

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:

3.Michel Thomas Foundation Course: French (Michel Thomas Series) by: Michel Thomas September 29, 2006

Let me start with on a good point and say that michels technique is a true work of art Its only when you have listened to the tapes a few times(and you will need to in order to completely digest it) that you realise how clever he is at making his point. It really is as close as you can get to painless language tuition. When I had ingested this course i was convinced that I could speek fluent french,however it is only the introductory course so you will be needing the avanced course after.Which is also exellent,and much more involved. Now for the bad bit: I can not for the life of me understand how Michel could have let the course be published with the female american student!! SHE IS A MORON. I have never in my ... Read More:

4.French Phrasebook (Collins GEM) from: Collins March 05, 2007

The Collins Phrase books (I have used several of the new editions including French, Spanish and Italian while travelling around Europe) are great. They are easily navigable with colour coding for different sections - all the essentials you need for getting by on holiday - shopping, using transport, accommodation, top tips - my favourite bit though, and that which I couldn't do with out, is the awesome menu reader! By far my favourite part of the any holiday is eating and the format is nice and compact so can fit in your handbag/purse easily. They're really discreet for bringing out at the dinner table, pretty much fitting in your hand, and avoiding the truly obvious tourist look! They're good and cheap too so I will be picking one up for any relevant country I visit.

5.Collins Easy Learning French Dictionary (Easy Learning Dictionary) from: Collins April 25, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.49 You Save: £4.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.42
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!

6.Pardon My French: Unleash Your Inner Gaul by: Charles Timoney August 02, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.99 You Save: £3.00 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.99
I wish I'd known about this book when we first came to live in France over a year ago. My ancient O-level French was all I had to rely on at the time and that included none of the extremely useful words and phrases I now know since reading Pardon My French. Not only has it improved my understanding of the language but also my understanding of certain aspects of the French way of life which can be so different from our own. Informative, entertaining and very easy to read. Great book.

7.Jolly Stories (Jolly Phonics) by: Sue Lloyd, Sara Wernham September 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.49 You Save: £3.46 (23%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.92
I bought this along with the Phonics Handbook to help my daughter learn to read. We live in Brasil so she attends school in Portugese and at 6 was struggling with reading because she was confusing the English sounds with Portugese ones. This whole scheme is fantastic I cannot believe how quickly it has improved her reading and writing. This book is an excellent addition as it is divided into 6 seperate stories, each story introduces a different sound per page in the same order as the Phonics Handbook so you can read a page then do the photocopy sheet that matches the story exactly from the Handbook, my daughter really looks forward to seeing what will happen next in the story and what sound it will introduce. All the other things the earlier reviewers say are also 100% accurate, ... Read More:

8.Michel Thomas Advanced Course: French (Michel Thomas Series) by: Michel Thomas November 01, 2005

I agree with the majority of the reviewers below. the common complaint is that this is not advanced? Well that is arguably the case but if you have a basic understanding of French and you want to take youreself into the A level (which incidentally stands for advanced) then I recommend this set. The fact that I took A level French many years ago and this set clarifies tenses better than any teacher I have experienced says it all- and now I am relatively comfortable with 19 YES 19 tenses after this course (even the subjunctive!!). I would also add that his advice at the end of the cd is priceless I just wish he managed to produce a further course.And he has got rid of the dithering student from the introductory course which was frustrating. The man was a genius. Read More:
