The Ultimate French Review and Practice with CD/ROM  April 9, 2011

Rating StarRating StarRating StarRating StarRating Star

The Ultimate French Review is the single best book I know for learning and reviewing basic principles of French grammar. It uses multiple and increasingly complex illustrations, and comes with a series of well presented CD's with French speakers. For those who have had some initial training in the language, this volume is the next logical step. I was amazed how fast I received my book. I ordered this textbook a two weeks before my class and I got it before my class began. The book was in the condition it was said it was and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is my second time in ordering textbooks at ecampus and I am happy with the results.
