Very good prompts for writing and speaking....however, there has not been enough iintroduction on vocabulary. If had not already studied French I would have become frustrated. I very much like the CDs. They are good pronunciation practice.

It looks as if my copy is more than 30 years old. Feels good learning a language reading and writing on a book this old, for some strange reason!
