User Comments about the Practice Makes Perfect: Complete French Grammar

This was a gift for my husband who is a Language teacher. He thought it was a good basic grammar book.



When I picked up this smartly organized volume, I not only quickly began to recall what I thought I'd forgotten, but I also learned new concepts for thinking about grammar. I find this book exceptional because it provides the basics but won't bore the advanced student or teacher. If you're studying French grammar, it's usually because you have to ( student) or you enjoy French and want to improve your writing. This is a clear, concise, guide to basic grammar without the excessive prattle that fills pages and inflates the price of textbooks while boring students to distraction. Painless and highly recommended. It had been years since I studied French.



I found this book well-organized and easy to proceed through. But there are some great websites for that, so perhaps in conjunction with the web, this would be a good starter French grammar book. I have a lot of experience with French (studied in high school and college), but needed a review, so for me it was perfect. I really can't say how it would be for someone just starting out; I think most folks would want to be able to hear the words.



The delivery of this book was not immediate- but certainly prompt. Thanks. The quality and condition are great. I will use it for many years to come.



As a language teacher, I think this is the best grammar guide I've found for my students and for anyone seeking to improve their French skills. The explanations are clear, the exercises useful, and the tables and verb charts are an easy to use and invaluable aid to anyone trying to write in French.
