Praise for the First Edition
"There’s something to be wholeheartedly said for coming across a book that enables one to learn and brush up on a language that is concise, colloquial, not to mention crystal clear...So in all, a terrific French language course – probably one of the best I’ve ever come across." - David Marx, David Marx:Book Reviews
