Great!
For $14.99 this is by far the best deal around. If you are looking to become fluent, the grammar based approach really worked for me. Each chapter allows you to both learn important vocabulary as well as new grammar. I recently traveled to France after completing the whole series and I couldn’t be happier with my ability to communicate after using this book!
