Product Description Both students and instructors find this popular introductory text easy to use. The grammar lessons are presented in a logical sequence with constant vocabulary reinforcement and practice of the four skills--listening, reading, writing, and speaking. In addition, Contacts meets the five "Cs" of the national standards for foreign languages--culture, connections, comparison, communities, and communication--which are denoted by icons when they appear in the text. | ||

Contacts: Langue et Culture Françaises It's not a bad textbook; it has everything in a specific order, which is great for learning French for the first time, though some parts could be moved to earlier sections in the book. The book encases full-color spreads with photos looking like they came from the '80s, a great characteristic of most language textbooks. Unfortunately, unlike the 8th edition of the same book, this book does not come with audio CDs that help you study French audibly and verbally. The back pages of the book include a handy French-English (and vice-versa) dictionary of sorts for words that beginners will need as they begin to master the language. | ||
French Language This is the same textbook I used in college. It was so good I decided to buy a copy to refresh myself with the french language. | ||
I love this book!! I used this book when I was back at my community college in Miami; even after the class was over I continue to study from it; I strongly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn the language. | ||
VERY HELPFUL Good workbook, easy to use. To be used with the textbook "Contacts" and the lab CD's also. | ||
Get the supplements! For the love of gawd, get the supplements!!! There is a workbook...get it. There are CDs...get them. You will need (and probably be required) to get both. Make sure they are both 7th edition. On the + side, you will likely use this book for French 1, French 2, French 3, and French 4. (take good care of the book and materials is my suggestion). Another note: For my French class, the CDs are loaded in the language lab's system. I did not "have" to buy them, but I find the additional practice at home helps. | ||
