Not surprisingly, communication and cultural competence are top goals of the majority of instructors, while they are simultaneously faced with the challenges of fewer contact hours, budget cuts, and new course formats. Deux mondes, 7th edition, continues to offer a truly communicative approach that supports functional proficiency while responding to these changing needs in new and exciting ways. As a direct result of our research, we created Connect French (www.mhconnectfrench.com), a powerful online learning platform that includes the ebook, the online Cahier d'exercices, an audio/video chat tool, and a brand-new video filmed in Provence. Engages students in authentic culture that inspires them to communicate with confidence by providing them with the natural contexts they need to develop their language skills. Provides tools for flexibility and easy online course administration. Achieves consistent results across face-to-face, hybrid, and online course formats.
This is a required textbook for a University of Minnesota Introduction to French FREN1001 course. The book is useless, but the publisher has cleverly tied the book and class to an even more user-hostile Moodle page, so instructors are march-stepped through the class by a pitiful text and an even worse website. The book is absolutely worthless, unless you already have a firm grasp of the French language.It's also worth noting that access to the website will cost you another $80 and that will be the least fun you've ever had with $80, including the absolute worst dental appointment you've ever suffered. The homework is bug-ridden and poorly designed. Nothing about the combination of the book and website can be classified as 'a learning experience,' unless you are cataloging the worst possible ways to teach a subject.If you're stuck with this book in a class, you're going to need to build a collection of useful texts to survive.
'French, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand French with Pimsleur Language Programs' by Paul Pimsleur, 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning French, 5th Edition' by Gail Stein, 'French For Dummies, with CD' by Erotopoulos, Dodi-Katrin Schmidt, Michelle M. Williams and Dominique Wenzel, and my local library got me through the course. I only suffered the class textbook when the instructor assigned pages for class and I really needed those other resources then.
This is a terrible, terrible. TERRIBLE text book. I've taken french before in highschool and this text is garbage compared to that. Paired with an even poorer instructor and you'll never learn a thing! You're better off typing things into a direct translator and using literal non-sensical translations to figure out his language.I knew a fair amount of french before this book and it has somehow completely turned me off of wanting to learn more in college. Normal language textbooks would provide sections in english to ensure comprehension and a base to advance from. This one does that for about 5 pages.

And while the 'immersion' thing is supposed to be the best way to learn. Everything is broken paragraphs, chopped up phrases and loosely placed verbs.Nothing is consistent. You learn about math before you can say 'Where is the bathroom, or I'm hungry/thirsty!' Great if you're a french speaker wanting to breeze through a class but nothing makes sense. There is no gradual learning curve.
It's 0 to 100 in 5 pages.If you take a class that requires this text, please use RateMyProfessor to find a halfway decent professor, otherwise, YOU'RE SCREWED! I had a Spanish textbook years before and it was very descriptive, easy to understand, and had a great glossary. Not in this case!

I knew I was in for a rude awakening as soon as I read chapter 1. I guess 'immersion' is the purpose of this book, but unless your living in a French speaking country or have French speaking friends/family then it's totally pointless. It seems like half of the information has no translation and the glossary only has the French to English translated words, so looking up a word in English is difficult. Knowing Spanish helped a little since both Spanish and French are Romance languages.I had to spend another $100 for the required access to the website. The worst part is I used about.com and Google Translator more than the actual book for my assignments. I hope colleges/universities find another French textbook for their students.
