Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-17 00:00:00 Mark Wd Thompson An excellent mix of reading, vocabulary, grammar notes, exercises, and suggested discussions and other oral activities for the classroom. It's well-formatted as well which is unfortunately uncommon in language learning textbooks and goes a long way in making a textbook a pleasure to study. My only complaint is small, in that the vocabulary lists related to each book excerpt is unnecessarily split into at least three sublists—elementary (broken down into nouns, adjectives, and verbs), active, and supplementary (sometimes futher broken down into subcategories by theme)—so when I was trying to look up a word I had to scan multiple lists instead of just a single alphabetised one. I also appreciate that the content is international and related to that it still feels current (minus some of the 'Français en couleurs' slang of course) despite being published in 2007 (8th edition).

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-25 00:00:00 Villy Svahn An intermediate-level textbook that can be used by self-learners too because you can do most of the exercises by yourself. It gives you exactly what a good intermediate textbook should give you: a lot of readings and exercises, good grammar explanations, and plenty of cultural information. What I think is simply fanstastic about this particular textbook is that it does not focus on France entirely in it's cultural readings, it covers most French-speaking countries. This is probably because the book was written by two American teachers, therefore you get a broader and more representative picture of the French language and its cultural use around the world. To me this was important, it made me feel that I was truly learning an international language.
