This work is divided into 12 units, each covering an important language area. Photographs and other realia give students insight into French background and lifestyle. An introduction of colloquial French develops students' abilities to understand and communicate in everyday French. The material is graded, initially providing revision of structures and topics already covered but in a new and lively way. Each unit ends with a background reading passage, a series of conversation questions, a survey of the grammar covered in the unit, and lists of topic-based vocabulary.
