Ultimate French Review and Practice

Rating: 8/10

Publisher: McGraw-Hill

Pros

Comprehensive reviews starting with present tense, working through all tenses and structures.

Great strategies including inverting statements into questions, working with negatives, dictation, extensive vocabulary in everyday situations.

Easy to follow just with audio

Booklet with written questions and answers to refer to if needed.

Cons

Some slightly noisy audio integrated into rest.

Conclusion

A great way to review and refresh your French, from basic to intermediate level. I found the audio very easy to listen to and they recommend you use it without referring to the notes, so the audio is self-sufficient. Great for iPod use. The material is challenging enough to be interesting forcing you to listen to content and form questions, negate positives, write dictation, conjugate verbs but with interesting exercises to do so.

Further comments

Highly recommended for honing your knowledge of verb forms, tenses, structures and even vocabulary. I was still learning new words while listening. Great for iPod use, as the program is self-sufficient, but the booklet is small enough to carry with you if you need to refer to the text to check your answers.

Audio quality is a little patchy, but I didn't find this detrimental or distracting. Highly Recommended.
