Making your language-learning dreams come true! When you need a new look or a house renovation, where do you turn? To a makeover team of course (in these days of reality shows)! So why not makeover your language skills in the same way?
Makeover Your French in Just 3 Weeks! will help you smarten up your vocabulary and grammar. Even if you are new to the language, this program will transform you from language wallflower to conversation head-turner.
You'll follow learners Annie and Lucas as they enjoy the expert guidance of the MakeOver team, who bring their skills and personalities into play. In each “episode” the team first prepares their students (and you) for the practical task they have to undertake, whether it be buying a train ticket or changing an unsuitable hotel room, getting around town or speed dating!
Through these exercises you will learn key vocabulary, expressions and structures, as well as helpful learning strategies, while “making over” common mistakes and frequently held misconceptions about the language and culture.
This program includes:
- A full-color book that provides engaging graphics, appealingly presented vocabulary, structures.
- A detachable 16-page fold-up phrasebook with handy words and phrases from the MakeOver team for quick reference in typical tourist situations.
- An audio CD with key vocabulary, expressions, and “live audio coverage” of the challenges. As a dual-format disk, the audio files are also available in MP3 format, for easy download to computer or iPod
