Publisher's Synopsis
French is Awesome!
Out of every ten of my friends who are currently learning a foreign language, right of them are learning French. This is definitely not a coincidence; millions and millions of people love the language, and want to get better at this language, and you will be in a very large and very diverse club. This is definitely an exceptional club, and I am happy to welcome you to it! From the gamification inherent in apps like Duolingo and Rosetta Stone, to more traditional approaches in brick and mortar language classes, language learning has always seen a variety of pedagogical approaches. This book offers an interesting - and successful - new take on the age-old problem of building up one's vocabulary in a new language quickly and at minimal cost. Learning French has many aspects: it is important to learn basic grammar and sentence structure. It is also very important to have a large bank of words to draw from, so that you can understand all the important parts of a conversation, and also so that you can read a book or watch a movie and follow most of what's going on without needing to use a dictionary or rely too heavily on the subtitles. Within this book, you will learn hundreds of new French words through the medium of multiple fun and engaging word game formats. The book can be read in two ways: it can either be approached as a serious puzzle book by people who are 3-12 months into a French course, and are looking to take their vocabulary size to the next level, in a way that is more interesting and entertaining than the tried and tested method of going through a dictionary and memorizing word after word. It can also be used by people who are just starting off on their French journey. I have provided the meanings, in English, of every French word featured in this book; this will help any reader go through the answers and learn the words, before going back to the questions after a while, and trying to guess those words in a different order. All the very best!
