Get up to speed in the usage and grammar of French and improve your writing
by Laura K Lawless
The title says it all – this is a French book for intermediate speakers, particularly independent students and travelers. Topics range from parts of speech to verb conjugations to choosing the right way to start a letter, and there are practice exercises throughout.
Intermediate French for Dummies is no longer available in bookstores.* You might be able to find a used version, or you can become a Fana de Lawless French and get a signed copy. 🙂

* A heavily modified version called French Workbook for Dummies, aimed at beginners, was published in December 2022. I removed 7 chapters and reworked 14, improving explanations and adding a ton of new exercises. I also wrote 3 new chapters. Since a good part of the content is similar, Intermediate French for Dummies was removed from bookstores.
