French for Oral and Written Review

Rating:
Summary: French for oral and written review fourth edition
Review: I am a French teacher and live in Switzerland. I am teaching French to women who travel the world. They usually stay in Switzerland for a few years. This book is simply the best and answer all the questions people could have about this difficult language to learn! My mothertongue is French and I always find - in this book-all the particular questions people are asking me.
There is ,unfortunately- A MAJOR PROBLEM with using this book. I have been looking everywhere for the ANSWER BOOK, which is the teacher book. The publisher can not provide it, eventhough it is mention in the first pages that an "ANSWER KEY" is available! Therefore, I wouldn't recommand this book. The exercices are difficult and take a long time to be solved!

Summary: French student echoes French teacher
Review: I can add this student's complete endorsement of Carlut & Meiden to that of former French teacher Robert Mazzola. It is one of only two French textbooks I've kept years after taking the course, and the only one I recommend to others. This book helped to put me into Phi Sigma Iota (foreign language honorary.)

Review: I don't need a thousand words to extol the virtues of this compact, totally accessible (to those interested in French at any level of study)handbook of French structure. When I taught French at the university level, this was the only French text students uniformly praised for its clarity and abundance of usable examples of the grammar and idiomatic points it presents. If you have been frustrated in the past by the two extremes in such texts (the hopelessly obtuse--for the beginner and intermediate students at any rate-- on the one hand, and the simplemindedly childish on the other), Carlut and Meiden will come as a refreshing breath of common sense. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. --R. L. Mazzola, PhD
