Summary: French Frenzy--the Elementary School Experience
Review: For the past four years, I have used this book as a "textbook" for teaching beginning French conversation to elementary students in our schools.

The book encourages the joy of "speaking" rather than conjugating verbs, and should not be purchased by those who need (or want) to enhance their grammar skills. But for "speaking conversational phrases" it's perfect...and the appendix, with its simplified vocabulary, is great. My husband, who knows NO French except what he "learned" from this book, survives in France very well when we take young students to Paris on a "field trip." This book is a very good way to begin learning the complicated French language.
