Fluent in French is a straightforward book that breaks down the basics of learning French. I have been fortunate enough to visit France in the past and would love the chance to return but have been wary due to my lack of French speaking skills. I stopped taking French lessons in high school and am quite rusty as a consequence. Fluent in French seems to be made just for someone like me. It reminded me of the basic concepts previously learned and taught me more practical and efficient ways to fully understand and implement the French language. In particular, I enjoyed the “myths” section. It broke down the difficult parts of the French language, which had previously seemed overwhelming and prevented me from trying to pick up the language again. There are easy to follow examples and answers to common questions about learning the French language.

This book is an excellent choice for anyone that wants to learn French or improve their fluency of the language. As someone who started learning French several years ago in college, this book will now be a valuable source that I will reference from time to time so one day I may become Fluent in French. When you learn to choose the right words instead of these long drawn out sentences, it does make it easier to memorize French.
