Teach Yourself French is the course for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing French with confidence. Although aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing knowledge or refresh rusty 'school French' for a holiday or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 25 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to looking for work and buying a house in France. The course covers all structures required for GCSE level and beyond. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and tips throughout to help with pronunciation and grammar. Cultural information boxes give useful advice and information for anyone planning a trip to France. There is a revision unit at the back of the book so that learners can check their progress and review areas of difficulty.



The new edition retains the tried-and-tested structure of the lessons but has been updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro and the internet. New features include an English-French vocabulary to go alongside the existing French-English vocabulary and reference to over 70 websites for sources of real French in use.
