 expensive and disorgaznied February 20, 2008
Roy Ben-moshe (Brooklyn, NY)

I have absolutely no idea why the french department at my university selected "Invitation au monde francophone" as the textbook to guide french students for three semesters. First, the textbook is incredibly expensive, even if one calculated the cost over three semester, I would hardly say that "$150" is worth 400 pages of pictures and useless exercises.
Now, onto the material. I don't know why so many pictures fill the pages of the book (though I would hope the artist is well-paid, since it looks like he put this thing together) but I think its an utter insult to my intelligence to have authors instigate that I need pictures to stimulate my interest. Maybe the authors should have spent their time filling the pages with words instead.
Meanwhile, the lessons that actually do exist are completely disorganized and scattered throughout the book with little regard to order or consistency. vocabulary lists at the end of every chapter contain only half the words listed throughout the chapter. the vocabulary list in chapter one only boasts a quarter of the words thrown at you in both chapter one and the preliminary chapter. oddly enough the list also includes adjectives, albeit adjectival use is never displayed in the chapter!
this book is a waste. find something organized and worthy of your money.
 Great book for learning beginning French October 9, 2007

I used this book for a college introductory course and it was much better than any that I had ever used in high school. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn french. The cd was also very helpful in helping me to learn how to pronounce.
 not a book for French beginners September 28, 2005

I don't like this book, actually i am taking French in college now, this is the textbook for my elementary course. but i don't think it is a book for beginners, there are too much infor in one chapter. and it never makes it clear the grammar points/pronunciation, the CDs read very fast to catch up with.
