This is a wonderfully entertaining introduction to hundreds of everyday words and phrases in French for the complete beginner, or for anyone wanting to improve their French. Each track on the CD represents a double-page spread in the book, so you can listen to the phrases while you read, and improve your pronunciation at the same time. You'll also find clear explanations of new grammar, as well as puzzles and exercises. This edition also includes a wide range of recommended Web Sites, where you can find many interactive word games and learn more about French culture and traditions.

Children will be able to work through this book unaided, with the help of the CD. However, parents might like to work along with their child and practise some of the conversational pieces presented throughout the book!
