French for Beginners December 11, 2009
Juliet Sharp (France)
I live in France and teach French to British adults who either live here permanently or have a second home. Although this book is aimed at schoolchildren in Britain, I find it works very well when teaching adult beginners. Also, it is inexpensive and easily obtainable. I just wish there was a follow-on book - "French for Improvers"? How about it Usborne Language Guides?

BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 9 YR OLD - GREAT BOOK WITH ALL THE BASIC WORDS, NUMBERS AND COLOURS IN IT.
 Not for beginners June 21, 2009

If you can't read in French phonetically it is not a book for you. There is no phonetic translation so you won't know how to say a word. Not a great purchase.

The book covers the very basic topics like introducing yourself, numbers, colors etc. The illustrations are very funny and there's small exercises to help you remember. Only minus from my side is that it could have been longer. And I didn't receive any CD with it either :/
 Great book but the CD doesn't work for me March 3, 2008

I recently bought Usborne Books' "French for Beginners Pack" and feel I have to complain about the CD quality.
Although the book and the flashcards are really good - the CD is a disappointment for three important reasons:
1) The English voice is much louder than the French Voice - even with the volume up it is hard to focus on the French speakers (the French should be dominant to help the learning process)
2) For some reason the English translation of each phrase comes after the French - that in itself means you are not thinking about the meaning when you hear the French - it would be better to give the English first and then the French
3) Furthermore the delay between the French and its English translation is so big that the English sounds as though it is relating to what comes next (so "Un" - long pause "One" very short pause "Deux - makes it sound as though "one" = "deux") - again this long pause is not helped by the dominance of the English voice.
I have contacted Usborne and look forward to hearing their response.
