About the Book

This synopsis refers to the book + CD pack. Are you looking for a course to help you achieve A-level standard in French? Perhaps you are taking the language up again after a break from it? Teach Yourself Improve your French is the ideal way to extend your language skills if you already have some knowledge of French. Whether you ve completed Teach Yourself French or any other beginners French course, either by yourself or at evening class, you will find this the perfect course for building on your existing knowledge and improving your spoken and written language. The book covers a wide range of topics of the sort you will want to talk about when in France and teaches you the kind of everyday language and features of speech that will enable you to communicate with confidence and feel comfortable taking part in conversation with native speakers of French. The choice of material aims to give you something of the flavour of France today and each unit is based around a single theme with lively interviews and conversations on the accompanying recording. There are activities based on the interviews and texts to help you remember what you ve learnt and put your knowledge into practice. The units are divided into sessions to help you organize your learning time and break up the material into manageable chunks -and there are reminders throughout to refresh your memory of points you have learnt. The accompanying double CD provides approximately 2 hours of listening material. The CDs (0 340 87063 X) and book (0 340 87061 3) can also be purchased separately.
