Title: The Dummies Title is Insulting But the Book Works Fine
Product review: I was required to get a copy of "French for Dummies" for my French I class that I am taking as preparation for a trip to France later this year. I ordered the Kindle version on Amazon so I can use it via my iPad Amazon app right in class. I hate the titles of the series of "XXX (fill in the blank) for Dummies" In spite of the unfortunate title which continues to irk me, this book is well organized and actually very practical for quickly gaining a usable familiarity with French. I studied French in college decades ago and I speak Spanish so I can analyze technique of language study fairly well. Coupled with a competent teacher, this "French for Dummies" is a great book to begin speaking at once. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because the title still is insulting but I guess I need to revise my prejudices.French For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature))
