Inside the French A2 lessons

These lessons, explained in English, move from “telling friends what you did last weekend” and “remembering childhood: then and now” to “handling bank counters and parcel services” and “picking up a rental car and driving off”. The first chapters give you the past tenses a speaker needs to tell a story, and the next ones put them to use in scenes such as “finding and visiting a rental flat”, “getting help and advice at a French pharmacy” and “returning goods and complaining politely”. Several chapters teach writing as well as talking: “friendly emails to friends and coworkers” shows how a friendly message is built, and “saying yes or no to invitations” gives the polite ways of accepting or declining. Each of the 20 chapters has a quick answer at the top, French examples with translations, key points at the end and a tip from Zoé. The book fits adult learners who finished a beginner course and feel stuck at the same level.
