Probably the most delightful, useful, and comprehensive elementary book available for learning spoken and written French, either with or without a teacher. Working on the principle that a person learns more quickly by example then by rule, Lemaître has assembled colloquial French conversations on a variety of subjects, as well as grammar, vocabulary, and idiom studies.

There is far less focus on lengthy blocks of the text than in the German volume, instead focusing on dialogue, which seems to be a shame. Yet, as a beginner, I also appreciate that there is more focus here on consolidating grammatical skills along the way, to accommodate for the additional challenges (I believe) an English speaker faces when learning French, as opposed to German.
