Some are exemplary, and others... not so. This, sadly, falls into the latter category.It will do as it says, it should be noted. You can learn French from this course. The CDs (essential, by the way) are well recorded, with a very good pronunciation guide. Start at page one, persevere, and by the end you will be a francophone. But there are two very significant problems.The first, as others have noted, is that the organisation is a little haphazard. Certain vocabulary and grammatical constructs are learnt before more useful ones. What you will therefore find is that to be able to converse in a useful way with a French speaker, you will need to get a good chunk through the book (unless your conversation skills wish to end at "Hello"). Other texts will at least get you feeling as if you are making headway quickly. Not so here.The second, and more significant problem is that the book is about as dry as a pack of cream crackers. The text is uninspiring, the secondary information is at best pointless, and the dialogues range from the trite to the downright dull. What this means is that you will lose interest very, very quickly in using this book. If you don't, you have better powers of concentration and willpower than anyone I have ever met.What this means is that while you can learn French from this book, you are almost certain to lose interest very quickly, and thus your education in this language will come to an abrupt halt pretty sharpish. Working through the book is like treading through treacle, only less fun. It is stuck in the style of textbook which went out with flared trousers, and while other learning materials have moved on, this has not.Two stars for the CDs and the good price, but spend a bit more, and get something more useful. Try something like Bernard Grosz'  Access French: Student Book (Access Language Series)  - but make sure you get the support CDs too - or his rather handy  French (Teach Yourself Your Evening Class) . Even better (in my opinion) is Angela Aries'  Facon De Parler: French for Beginners: Pt. 1 , which is everything a modern text-book should be. Yes, it's a bit more cash, but I promise you, you won't regret the extra expense. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/72280250-teach-yourself-french-book-5th-edition-paperback-31-aug-2007](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/72280250-teach-yourself-french-book-5th-edition-paperback-31-aug-2007) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
