Good complement to the text book
Customer Rating:
For all the supplementary materials to vis-a-vis, I like the workbook the best. It provides good exercises to allow us to really grasp the concepts.
Great For Hands on People
Customer Rating:
It seems that the other reviews aren't really for the book at all, but for personal short-sightedness or bad service. I'd like to offer a review that actually talks about the BOOK.
This workbook is great, especially for people who are hands-on. My French class uses online homework, which is fine, but there's something more helpful about having to write it down yourself. The workbook offers answers in the back and the exercises are challenging, yet doable. I also feel that the workbook's exercises help you apply the French that you're learning really well. When my teacher offered worksheets from this workbook to do in class, I found that what we were studying stuck better in my mind. I would recommend this workbook, and it's a shame they don't offer it as an option to buy at my university bookstore. (I'm actually using the workbook as a brush-up from a summer of no French while heading into a second year of classes.)
Don't buy the Text/Workbook Package
Customer Rating:
Even though this workbook has the option of being bundled with the textbook, don't buy them together. I needed the 3rd Edition, but ended up getting a 3rd edition textbook and 2nd edition workbook. Just buy them seperately and you'll be ok, just make sure you know what you're getting before you click buy.
Bad Combo Advice
Customer Rating:
When I bought the Vis-a-Vis: Beginning French, the website offered a combination with its work book which I readily accepted. I admit it was my mistake that I didnt bother to check the edition of the Workbook. I ended up with 3rd Edition Vis-a-Vis Book (which I wanted) and 2nd Edition Workbook (which I didnt want). If the website hadnt offered the combo I would have been more careful and checked the edition. On top of that I was charges the return shipping cost too! The 3rd Edition is not available for 2-5 weeks which is useless for me then!
