Hi James, French teachers,
If I were to use European French books which ones would you
recommend for this age level? I did take a look at the
Discovering French Blue 1a, but it covers way too much for a
six month exploratory course. Have you heard of Oh La, La or
Tandem, Le Mag? I found these names on a Continental
bookseller website.
