GRAMMAIRE PROGRESSIVE DU FRANCAIS: NOUVELLE EDITION

I love this book. My French tutor uses it as one of her learning tools. It has helped me to talk and write French. It guides you through French grammar, starting at the very simple and leading you to more complex ideas. It is all in French so encourages you to learn and think in French.

If you are looking for a french grammar with step by step units and exercises covering all the fundamentals then this is THE BOOK. I liked the fact that grammar explanations are provided on the left pages whereas the exercises are given on the right ones. You can immediately do exercises and put into use what you have just learned. I recommend you work out all the exercises from cover to cover, because the book will take you gradually from the elementary concepts to the more difficult ones. Together with the book of answers, it is an ideal grammar for self study.

These books provide good practise when learning French. I believe they use them in the French schools too according to my french friend. The corrections books provide the answers as well so are probably useful to buy as well. Now I just need to find the time to work through them !

I was looking for a French grammar written in French and this fits the bill completely. It can be used by reading from page 1 through to the end or by selecting particular grammar features from the index. The range of examples makes comprehension very easy and the vocabulary is at the right level for someone who is at the intermediate level of learning French. This will be a constant companion during the time that I am improving my French written and conversational skills.

I love this series of books. They provide clear grammatical points then progressive exercises. It is all in French, so does require good understanding or someone to help clarify.
