content: Sometimes, you need to be handed a bat & have a dead horse placed before you in order to understand something fully. Reprise does just that for French grammar. Explanations are very clear, and the exercises isolate aspects of the language in a way few other books do. Although cultural notes are treated in an incidental way, they are, nonetheless, present. The grammatical aspects of the book are excellent, but it's probably not the way to go if you're looking for conversation, communication, and/or cultural competency.
