5.0 out of 5 stars A Trip Down Memory Lane with French in Action Workbook
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

So, I decided to take a little nostalgia trip and picked up the "French in Action: A Beginning Course in Language and Culture: The Capretz Method, Workbook." Let me tell you, it's like stepping into a time machine and revisiting those classic language learning days. This workbook is the companion to a course that's stood the test of time, and for good reason.

Why go back to this classic, you ask? Sometimes, you just want to reconnect with the roots of language learning, before the days of flashy apps and instant gratification. The Capretz Method is like the fine wine of French language courses - it just gets better with age.

Going through the workbook, I'm reminded of the solid foundation it provides in the French language and culture. It's not just about memorizing words and phrases; it's about immersing yourself in the essence of Frenchness, if that's a word.

For anyone who's ever been touched by the magic of the French in Action course, this workbook is a must-have. It's more than just a learning tool; it's a piece of the golden era of language learning. Whether you're a seasoned Francophile or a newcomer to the charms of the French language, diving into this workbook is like finding a treasure trove of linguistic gems.

So, here's to nostalgia, to classic learning methods, and to the enduring appeal of French in Action. Vive la langue française!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best !

I have used French in Action since it first came out in the 1980's. By far it is the best teaching/learning program for learning French and about French culture. I am so glad that the third edition was completed and published after the death of Pierre Capretz. I have given, and still do give this program my highest praise. The new edition is well worth having as they have done a superb job in updating all the materials even though the video, of course, cannot be updated. (I taught French for 40 years.)
