بعد دراسة الدروس الأوائلة الخمسة أعتقد أنّ هذا الكتاب مفيــد لمراجة قواعد اللغة العربية الفصحى: إنــه زاخر بـالتمارين والمفردات ولكنّ النصوص ليست كثيرة (نصان فقط لكل درس). المستوى ليس الأول يعني غير ابتدائي.
لا شك أنّه كتاب مناسب لأشخاص الذين لا يدربون منذ زمان ويريدون أنْ يدرسوا من جديد
نوفمبر 2012 : خلاص... بعد 11 شهور: إنـــي درست ببطء ولكن الكتاب جيد
يانير 2013: القراءة الثانية أفضل من القراءة الأولى... رأيي النهائــــي: كتاب مفيد ومثير للاهتمام
