The French Experience 1 is a complete, self-contained course for beginners learning at home or in a class. It will develop your listening, reading, writing and speaking skills, as well as giving you a valuable insight into French culture.

The French Experience 1 can help you reach the equivalent level of a first qualification, such as GCSE. It includes a 288-page course book and four 75-minute CDs:

Course Book

Based on a simple, step-by-step approach, each of the 20 units of the course is divided into self-contained learning blocks, enabling you to make rapid progress with the language. An additional four revision and assessment units reinforce learning using activities and language 'check ups'.

Audio

Authentic dialogues and interviews allow you to hear native French speakers using everyday language, and the activities based on them progress from listening and recognising to speaking and understanding, to gradually develop your conversational French.

Both the book (9780563472568) and the CDs (9780563472582) are available individually; an activity book can also be purchased separately for extra practice in reading and writing (9780563472575).
