French: How To Speak and Write It - by Joseph Lemaître

French: How To Speak and Write It  - by Joseph Lemaître

Probably the most delightful, useful and comprehensive elementary book available for learning spoken and written French, suitable for use either with or without a teacher.

Working on the principle that a person learns more quickly by example then by rule, Lemaître has assembled colloquial French conversations on a variety of subjects, as well as grammar, vocabulary, and idiom studies.
