Excellent review of French 2009-12-28

By another opinion

If you're looking for a review workbook with and answer key, this is it.

It's exactly what it claims to be. A good review and lots of practice exercises. Easy to follow, visually appealing, not too boring, packed with information. Perfect for a review, if that's what you're looking for.

Great Review 2009-05-25

By Tarrita (United States)

I am self-taught in French, and am quite advanced but needed some type of language tool to drill me on my verbs as well as some grammar help. This book is excellent. From the first exercise it has great verb/grammar drills.

However in order to use it properly you must be able to read French at an intermediate level.

Love it!

Good basic review of grammar and syntax 2008-10-15

By bibelot (California, USA)

I started French in preschool, took French classes from junior high through college, and have continued to read French periodicals, but haven't had an opportunity to review my grammatical skills since leaving school. I think that this book provides a good "all-rounder" review of the basics, and I can fall back upon my Grevisse (Le Bon Usage) for the more esoteric stuff. Merci bien!

Used for reviewing before a college course after not taking French for a year. Very helpful and complete. Definately would recommend.

Great Refresher for Pre-Study-Abroad 2007-12-22

By S. Raymond (NY, United States)

NOTE: This book is called "The Ultimate French REVIEW" for a reason. It is NOT for beginners, but for those polishing their "rusty" points. It also helped clear up some of the foggy points I still had from previous traditional classes.
That said - I bought this book in preparation for my study abroad experience in Tours, France. I spent the summer before my trip doing a few pages a day of reading and exercises from this book (it's huge), and as a result not only did I place in a higher level than anyone expected on my standardized test, but in addition I used it to help to some of my English-speaking classmates. I agree that some of the exercises are repetitive, but that's really the only way to master verb conjugation.

I think that this book truly improved this student's writing ability in French. As I continue to write (and learn) in French, I still use it as a handy reference guide when I'm unsure of which tense to use.
