A surprisingly complete package that includes grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, and listening exercises. Free audio is available on Routledge’s website. Expect materials at the A1 - A2 level.

Kudos to Routledge for making the exercises interactive, like marking maps and negotiating a lease, as opposed to the usual grammar exercises of filling in the blanks.

Just in nine days, I can speak simple French. Yea, I want to get B2 next year, and this book helped me a lot.

Picked this one up in the library. It was good enough but really it is a beginner's grammar. Kind of colloquial, but not what I would want at this stage (which would be a true guide to colloquial usage). This was more a grammar focussed on conversation for the beginner.
