I took French from 6th grade and went on to minor in it in college. I would never say I spoke perfectly, but I was fluent enough. 4 years of not reading, writing, or hearing french really took a toll though and I became super-rusty!
I've bought so many other french tools and while some held my interest for a while, none of them was a true workbook like this one. this book is GREAT. It's not designed for beginners, which I think is great because one of the things that makes me stop using something is when I get bored from re-reviewing the easiest stuff that I already knew. I feel so involved with my studying now- there are so many great exercices! the concepts are explained so clearly that I never get frustrated. (I had this one book in AP French in high school that explained everything in French- ugh!). Right now Ijust finished chapter 5 (I feel like I've accomplished something huge) and things are really coming back to me- I feel like I'm understanding the concepts so far even better than I ever did! Few things- I do wish there were more translations of difficult vocab words and some verbs in the book. Keep a dictionary handy. Also I wish there was a section for notes in the back. And others may find it helpful to do what i did and cut out the answer key in the book and staple it together. Nothing is mroe annoying than flipping back and forth to check your answers. (they should have made them tearable, that would have been cool!)

Amazing review tool. Not the only thing you'll need, but probably the most important one!

Covers what other books ignore!

As a French teacher, I highly recommend this book for advanced beginning through advanced learners. The authors'signature contribution is to address such things as the pronunciation of singular and plural third person indicative (straightaway on pages 1 and 5) and the differences beween English and French for focusing specific elements of a sentence (pp 173-175.)
