"With the knowledge I received from Easy French, coupled with a sample of Pimsleur really increased my verbal fluency. When I was depending on what I learned from Easy French, I would still struggle with phonetic French. If you have a talent to pick up languages by ear, then I recommend you go through the Pimsleur French first and Easy French second. I have always had french classes in my youth and somehow I retained a lot of the basic grammar, which helped in the easy way I swept through the first couple of chapters in Easy French. If you have no idea where to start in order to start the process of learning the ever so difficult French language then look no further than Easy French Step-by Step for Written Fluency. Click on the links to direct you the additional material I bought and recommend with Easy French: French, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand French with Pimsleur Language Programs. The Ultimate French Review and Practice."
"Easy to read, easy to learn, I use almost evary day at least 20 minutes."
"For someone trying to teach themselves French, it's kind of confusing and the chapters don't follow in a nice order..."
"Very helpful in learning word gender and how to pronounce French words!"
"This is one of the best French grammar books in its price range on the market."
"Loves it but needs a French to English translation/ dictionary."

"This cloth hardcover volume is 8.1 x 10.1 INCHES, 320 PAGES, with 27 STORIES (versus the flexcover 5.4 x 7.7 INCHES, 192 PAGES, 14 STORIES The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm that, at roughly 1/3rd the price and practically identical-looking in online images, people mistake for being the same!)."
"There were so many positive reviews for the Calla Edition that I began feeling swayed but ultimately I went ahead with purchasing this edition because it is the complete works of Grimms Fairy Tales whereas the Calla Edition is not the complete works."
"The darker tones in the story lines make it more fun for adults to read, and I have to say after so many years of reading fairy tales that some of the dark twists in the stories surprised me, but it was nice to read the stories and not know what was going to happen because the story was much different!"
"The daughter grew up in a life of wealth and privilege which Cummings could not have provided. Years later, after a heads up from a friend, Cummings arranged to run into his full grown daughter in New York."
"Wow is this a nice looking book! I always hate when these manufactures make a nice looking book and then ruin it with a big ugly barcode on the back."

Find Best Price at Amazon"While those things are fine, if your goal is to quickly increase your Russian vocabulary, then it just makes sense to use this book. Standard Russian/English dictionaries are a must for any learner's bookshelf but if you add this book too, then you'll master the vocabulary much faster and easier."
"These are words which you will encounter over and over again so it is very worthwhile to make a point of familiarizing yourself with them. Of course, this text, since it is based on written materials, does not really do justice to the spoken language however, for what it proposes to do, it admirably succeeds in its goal of providing a frequency list of the most commonly used 10,000 words in the educated, general language."
"However, for the time it has saved me in searching out the most frequent words in any sort of structure, I believe for me the price is acceptable."
"Great, never seen a book like this before."
"If you want to quickly expand your Russian vocabulary in the most logical and useful way, this is the book to buy."
"The book is sold as is, but I have actually had my Russian friends read the words and the examples aloud while I record their native pronunciation onto digital audio files. I hope that the next edition will be sold with a CD or MP3 files to accompany the product."
"This dictionary is immensly helpful in learning new vocabulary."

"Join Kenji and his friends as they introduce us to words such as Futon, onigiri (a yummy rice ball treat) and sensei." "Such a sweet book that introduces a kid-friendly Japanese word for every letter of the alphabet, in rhyming prose. All four of my kids (aged 3, 6, 7, and 9 years old) love the illustrations and text in this ABC rhyming book!" "I've always had an interest in learning about people and cultures, so I've collected an assortment of "My First Word" books in a variety of languages. At first glance, the choice of going through the English alphabet to present words in Japanese seems odd, but really it's brilliant.
