Here's a pleasant and effective way for students of French to build and strengthen vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 carefully rendered scenes (14 double-page and one single-page), each devoted to a different theme or topic: Au Zoo (At the Zoo), À la Ferme (On the Farm), La Chambre de Jeune Fille (Girl's Bedroom), La Chambre de Garçon (Boy's Bedroom), La Salle de Classe (Classroom), La Salle de Séjour (Living Room), La Salle de Bain (Bathroom), Au Dîner (At Dinner), Le Supermarché, (Supermarket), À la Plage (At the Beach), and five more.Each illustration contains dozens of common objects, clearly labeled in French. By studying the illustrations, students can learn over 500 words for common household items, clothing, foods, vehicles, furniture, names of animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and many more.To help reinforce words and meanings, all the scenes in this book are ideal for coloring. In addition, a complete list of French words (with definite articles) and English translations will be found at the back of the book. The result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic French, child or adult.
