[@airaemarrez237]

All these books are what we use in my university! They're amazing books and I highly recommend them!

[@speakfrenchfluently7142]

I agree :)

[@viennnne]

How do you understand them if they are all in French? Is there any English in them?

[@GoLongAmerica]

vienne murray no english is in these books. You probably should use them with an instructor if you’re a complete beginner.

[@hoppyjolene]

@@viennnne Using books completely in the language is honestly very good, its very repetitive on what it is asking (depends on the book), is it gonna be a pain to look everything up at the beginning YES. But its worth at the end.

[@ntatenarin]

I wish I used those books. My one textbook was soooo expensive because we needed the online part of it as well so we could do our homework. It was so expensive that I almost considered not taking a French class.

[@dancarroll6349]

Salut Géraldine. J'ai cherché sur Internet des cahiers d'exercices pour compléter mes études, mais je n'ai pas trouvé ce que je cherchais. C'était avant que je regarde cette vidéo. Je pense que votre série de manuels recommandés est exactement ce dont j'ai besoin. Vous êtes un professeur fantastique! Merci pour tout! Dan

[@hsun9810]

This is a just-in-time tip, after going through so many French courses with poor results I just happen to be looking for books that work the magic. Thank you for the recommendation.

[@monikanarula1794]

Hey! Can you help me?

[@sergiosum2274]

"Communications" series is really good. The exact one you introduced helped me to integrate my life at Paris. "B2/C1" by Miquel is superb -- the part on "comportements" is fantastique; while I found "C1/C2" of Rachine et Schenker a bit struck up, especially the "Faire une dégustation de vin." Questions like "Parlez nous l'impression en bouche de ce petrus (bordeaux rouge) au niveau de l'aspérité et de la persistance." Well, OK...

[@SS-wi4tm]

I love the litterature books the most. So engaging. And they even have one for a1-a2 level

Geraldine, thank you for this lesson. I think the reason I'm not improving too much at the moment is because I miss the written word. So will look out for these books. Dan

I wish French texbooks publishers would creat textbooks like Get’s Set Go. I have been looking at so many textbooks for kids and none of them are as good. Get Set Go has lots of dialogues in comic format, very good to learn to speak and easy to understand what is going on.

[@tishymielgabrielle4688]

Je suis tout à fait d'accord et à part de ces ouvrages il y a une grande variété de matériel de CLE international comme "Les verbes et leurs prépositions" et "Les expressions idiomatiques".

[@andrewwhitehead2002]

Thank you Geraldine, very helpful. In english an “exercise book” is an empty notebook that you write in. What you were showing us were “text books”. If only my french was half as good as your english.

[@jefflehman5278]

I would call these "workbooks" rather than "textbooks". A similar series from an English-based publisher (the Practice Makes Perfect series) are described as workbooks.

[@koawells9971]

Thank you for the video! If I am a complete beginner learning French and I want to teach myself, is the beginner book good? I noticed that it is all in French.

[@hayleybourgeois5109]

Right, I was confused how to use a book completely in French if you’re a beginner

[@mirunapopescu]

They have a level for super beginners called "Débutant Complet". I jumped straight to "Débutant" because I already knew a bit of French, and I use it together with the answer book. It's not that difficult really, the explanations are tailored to people who understand close to nothing. You might just need to make use of a dictionary when you don't understand something. Learning a language takes effort, after all

[@johnknight9150]

Is that a Minitel in the background?

[@diegoalexandre-garcia7561]

Hello, you know if you buy the book, the audios can be downloaded online? Is because I do not have a CD reader anymore.

[@jasoncollins865]

Jeez! That first book is rather pricey considering the size of it

[@junomance]

this video is exactly what i needed!! i’ve looked at three different videos and all of them had the intermediate grammar workbook you showed so i think i’m settled on getting that one but do you think i need to get that exact version? i’ve seen that they’ve made a few newer versions of the same book but i don’t want to get a newer one if it’s not as good obviously haha. if anybody knows the answer to this please let me know!!

[@jefflehman5278]

The latest edition of the intermediate grammar includes online exercises, which is a nice bonus. They are similar to the exercises in the book, but are self-marking. I'm not sure if it's best to do the online exercises at the same time as the book (i.e. finish a chapter in the book, then do the online exercise), or save them up for review later.

[@devendra1956]

Bonjour Ms. I am from India & very much interested to learn French. So where from I can get those books ?

[@michelgolabaigne595]

Salut Géraldine, Les livres de grammaire promettent beaucoup, mais ils donnent peu ... :( Nous devons transformer les livres en cartes mémoire,(flashcards) créer constamment nos propres histoires et mettre nos propres exemples en pratique. Sinon tout est trop abstrait et cela n'apporte que de la frustration... L'homme ne peut apprendre que des histoires .... :) Merci pour votre présentation, vous nous donnez envie d'apprendre la grammaire…, je trouve ça génial! Votre vidéo m'a vraiment motivé et je suis sûr que ce sont les autres aussi. M E R C I Michel

Je trouve que j'apprends mieux le français en écoutant différents programmes sur you tube comprenant bien sur: Comme une Francais, KwiziqFrench, et français avec Pierre. Je crois qu'une personne peut apprendre une langue plus rapidement avec la méthode audiovisuelle. Mais J'ai des livres à consulter quand j'en ai besoin, tels que: français dans 3 mois, {série Hugo}, dictionnaire bilingue anglais-français / français-anglais; et «la France en direct», qui est un manuel que j'ai utilisé lorsque j'ai appris le français à l'ambassade de France à Tel-Aviv, en Israël. J'ai aussi le livre de conjugaison français des verbes.

[@Shahrukh-st4np]

[@jerrydurk1]

I cheat, when reading French. I have Google translate so when I get stuck on a word I don't know I will translate it. Sometimes I have to look at the third level translation before I get the context.

[@PawsAndPages81]

you could also try context.reverso.net, it's free, it gives you the pronunciation as well, plus lots of sentences in both your mothertongue and the target language

[@peterlee9902]

I don’t have time to note the book titles down.

[@MemeFunnyV]

Any books contain pronunciation, speaking, listening as similar as a Cambridge English book? many worlds are hard to speak

[@partiufrances4397]

Try the Compréhension Orale and the Expression Orale series (1, 2, 3 ans 4). They are part of the collection Compétences, also by CLE.

[@abcd-hw8io]

I find the Cambrige/Oxford/Pearson English textbooks are better than the majority of the French textbooks out there. The English textbooks include much more audio to help with pronunciation.

[@docbb4961]

I found some pdf versions of the books mentioned but they are not in english so if anyone has a link can you please comment it down below :)

[@oikujhygt5483]

The books aren’t in English that’s why

I hate textbooks. I have never seen one that wasn't boring. The only exception is the Communication progressive du français. There are also free video versions available on KZbin.
