I purchased this book as a way to help me get familiar with the French language before my trip to France and it did a wonderful job of it. The guide is simple but effective in helping to introduce French to the reader with a basic guide to the grammar structure that can oftentimes trip up foreigners. I liked that it was in depth enough to provide basics of French word usage, grammar, phonetics, etc, but that it didn't require you to take a bunch of lessons to get a handle on the language... at least enough for tourists like me to be able to effectively communicate to the French when visiting their country. Like the guide book's description says, this isn't a complete guide to French, but it is a wonderful starting point for those who just want to be able to get the point across or who want to ease into the French language without a lot of stress in the process. Great beginners guide, I would definitely recommend it to others who want a quick start to the language.
