If you enjoy learning a language by reading lessons and then taking lots of quizzes, this is the French book for you. It’s suitable for anyone who wants to start learning French as well as for intermediate students who need to brush up on essential grammar and cement their knowledge with quizzes.*
Topics range from greetings and holiday wishes to parts of speech and verb conjugations, and there are tons of practice exercises. Each chapter includes several short lessons followed by quizzes, with the answer key at the end of each chapter. At then end of the book, you’ll find verb tables, the ever-useful list of verbs with prepositions, and an English-French and French-English glossary.

French Workbook for Dummies is a heavily modified version of my 2008 book Intermediate French for Dummies. The new book is aimed more toward beginners (A1 / A2): I removed 7 more advanced chapters and reworked the remaining 14, improving explanations and adding a ton of new exercises. I also included 3 brand-new chapters. Nonetheless, a substantial part of the content is similar, so Intermediate French for Dummies was removed from bookstores. You might be able to find a used version, or you can become a Fana de Lawless French and get a signed copy of either book. 🙂
