Barron's " E-Z French " instructs students with little or no prior knowledge of the language in informal conversational French. They'll find true-to-life dialogues with translations, skill-building exercises, useful verb conjugation charts, explanations of grammatical terms, and many more language-learning features. Illustrations supplement the text and capture much of the spirit of contemporary France. Books in Barron's new "E-Z " series are enhanced and updated editions of Barron's older, highly popular "Easy Way " books. New cover designs reflect the brand-new interior layouts, which feature extensive two-color treatment, a fresh, modern typeface, and more graphic material than ever. Charts, graphs, diagrams, line illustrations, and where appropriate, amusing cartoons help make learning E-Z in a variety of subjects. "Barron's E-Z " books are self-teaching manuals focused to improve students' grades in skill levels that range between senior high school and college-101 standards.
