How come no one told me CLE Grammar Progressive is so freaking good!?! I kid, I kid, obviously everyone loves this series, but I’ve only just started with it. I had a mediocre experience once with a different CLE grammar book and that kind of put me off grammar books in general, but the Progressive series is just delightful. Such an incremental progression! So much built in review! It’s a real course, not just a disjointed reference book with drills. I’ve started at the Debutant level, because I like my grammar to be ridiculously easy and this is just dreamy. I’m confident I will still enjoy it when I get to the higher levels and concepts I’m less familiar with. I had been using French by the Natural Method for easy grammar, but I think this meets my needs even better. I still admire that course, but I really don’t need the graded reader aspect that it does so well.
Another lovely find: Paul Noble French for Kids. Quite affordable on Audible! I paid about $8 for 8 hours of material. This is a Michel Thomas style course only Paul Noble uses a native speaker to speak the French portions, which is a brilliant improvement. The individual lessons are quite short for a child’s attention span, but the content is legit. After an hour of instruction my kid just successfully said the following sentence in French: “I want to buy it because it is fantastic.” Impressive! Obviously we won’t cover everything in the next seven hours, but we will cover a lot of useful stuff, and I think it could lay a nice foundation for Assimil and Pimsleur etc. in the future.
