French Foundations

A year with Colette and Filou, in 24 chapters. Every chapter teaches one piece of grammar and one piece of pronunciation, with the sound written out in plain English under every French line — and not one French word appears before the book has taught it.

Twenty-four chapters on the present tense across all three verb groups, gender and articles, negation, questions and the near future — with a story in every chapter, a pronunciation page in plain English, and an answer key that explains why. Assumes nothing. No audio to buy.
