Summary: What you see is what you get when it comes to this popular series of foreign-language grammar titles, and here what you get is "501 French Verbs", fully conjugated in every tense the French language has to offer. (That would be 28, in case you're counting.) You'll also find verb drills and tests as well as definitions of important grammatical terms, an index of irregular verb forms, lists of vernacular expressions and idioms, and much more. If you can't find the verb you're looking for in the 501 "model" verbs, author Christopher Kendris provides an index of 1,000 additional verbs that are conjugated in the same way as one of the 501. A lifesaver for anyone who does much writing in French, "501 French Verbs" is an absolutely essential reference for every serious student of the language.

Summary: I purchased this book while in France last fall. I also own 501 French verbs, which I love, but this book is great because it helps you conjugate any and all verbs. Plus, it all fits into one neat little volume. It's helpful that the instructions are in French because you learn some good vocabulary as you go along. If you also own Bescherelle La Grammaire and L'orthographe, you have a great French reference selection in a fraction of the space taken up by other books!

Summary: I went through the 52 PBS programs first, then went through them again making notes, then I bought the book.
This immersion method I believe is like a child learning their own language for the first time - you watch and over time figure out what people are saying - you do not begin taking courses for 5 years.
If I had, had to take a typical language course to learn my native English - I believe I would never have learned.
The book is the immersion method in writting [and also in French]. You can go back and forth between the book and the 52 programs and everything is in French. You pick a word here and a phrase there and then start putting a few togeather. You learn the situations also.
For a person like me who fails every language course - this has been fun. It makes me want to go through the chapters and tapes over and over again.
So if you think of this method as a way to pick up French as a child would - a word here and a phrase there and a spark to continue to learn - it can be a lot of fun.
So far I recommend the 52 PBS programs and this Book.

Summary: The OXFORD HACHETTE bilingual dictionary is a superlative work. I am using the 1997 edition and it serves me well as a language enthusiast and a translator. It provides many, many different examples of translations, always easy to find and in the idiomatic language. In the French-English section for instance, the development given under the word TEMPS is just oustanding. One learns new ways of saying things: "Ils sont cruels, témoin le massacre de tout un village." - "They are cruel, as evidenced by the massacre of an entire village." This was interesting: "They have been badly serviced by their advisors" -"Les conseillers ne leur ont pas été très utiles." The various encyclopedic features such as the subject and grammar boxes are very useful. One would have liked a more North American approach, or even Canadian, but that does not distract from the overall quality. It is interesting to find a word such as DÃ0PANNEUR (convenience store), while one cannot find GUIGNOLÃ0E or BANC DE NEIGE. It is a modern dictionary, with equivalents given for email (one slight mistake there... MESSAGE PRÃ0CÃ0DENT given as NEXT) and such things. Verbs, model letters, etc. One would have liked the use of colour, but the dictionary is still well presented. I have used the Harrap's Shorter and I have the Collins Robert on CD-ROM. This is equal to any of them, it is perhaps even superior. Do not hesitate to buy it.
