Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French is arguably one of the easiest languages to learn. Because there are hundreds of French loan words in the English language, it is even easier for English speakers. Although English and French do not have the same origin, they have similar grammar such that many clear parallels can be drawn between both. That is the approach of this beginner guide-French grammar points are linked to their English equivalents so that understanding is enhanced. With a knowledge of basic English grammar, you can teach yourself French with this book even if you do not know a syllable in French before now. Each chapter is organized into five sections namely: - Introduction - Patterns - Observe - Learn - Test Yourself INTRODUCTION Here, the topic is made familiar to the reader by comparing it to what the reader already knows. PATTERNS Here, the structure, syntax or skeletal dissection of the concept being treated is given so that comprehension and retention will be easy. OBSERVE Examples are given to drive home the ideas being discussed. This includes example sentences, passages, verb conjugations, conversations, etc. LEARN The learner is assisted in their observation by pointing out how the given patterns were implemented in the examples. This is the main teaching part of the book. Extra information not given already are also given here. TEST YOURSELF Questions are set for the learner to assess their understanding. Answers are given after the questions section for effective assessment. This book goes an extra mile to buttress the fact that you can teach yourself French. Just read and see how.
