Hi there, my name is Talia Wendy. I bought this book yesterday. I think it is a great book. I have been learning for 3 months French on you tube and by subscription, where structured lessons, quizes, reading practices were sent to me online. It was full on and I did learned a lot, but it was very demanding and evolved around grammar more than spoken daily French language. French in 3 months complements what I already know and also provides me with the practical essential tools, to enable me to speak the language. With the online course I found my self spending at least 6 hours nearly every day, whereas with this book I can take my time learning at my own pace with out the pressure of deadline. I recommend this book to any one who is interested to learn French and the Hugo series in general for learning any other languages.
