Mauger: Separating the Men from the Boys

By Nancy B. LaMotta - September 10, 2003

My schools used Mauger's series in the 1960s. Quaint b&w drawings, "outdated" photos... but that's part of Mauger's charm. It's packed with logically-ordered grammar lessons and appropriate exercises. Keep the more "up to date" texts! I'm glad I stuck with Mauger all the way. When reviewing my results on the placement exam for transfer into another university's adv. French classes, the tough-as-nails French dept. head couldn't fathom my good score until he asked me what text we'd used in high school. He practically purred in contentment when I declared, "Mauger." Although I own a classic French grammar text, I still refer often to Mauger's texts for help. I especially appreciate the excellent pronunciation/liaison helps scattered throughout the books. A classic.

Cours De Langue Et De Civilisation Francaise (Vol. 1)

By M. R. Gawne - September 25, 2007

If you want to learn French from scratch, in the proper way, then this is the book for you. The book was produced around the time of World War II specifically for foreigners needing to learn the language. The whole of the book is written in French and starts with the very basics.

If you have some knowledge of the language you can follow the text easily with the help of a dictionary. Personally, I have engaged a tutor to help me through and to monitor my pronounciation - a must for anyone learning French.

BEST BOOK TO LEARN FRENCH

By atlantalanguage com "Marc" - September 29, 2011

At least a book that does not teach slang neither overload the student with too much information and is very well and logically structured.
A must even if it was written in 1953 and has elementary school-like drawing and black and white pictures
