Summary:
The ‘Teach Yourself French Starter Kit’ is a new concept in language learning. It is a complete programme which has all the back up and additional support material you need to get you speaking French fast, and confidently.
It has been specially written and designed for the complete beginner or the ‘false starter’ and does not assume that you know anything about learning a language. It is written in a friendly, no-nonsense style, with simplified, ‘bare bones’ grammar which covers only the language you will need.
The rules of pronunciation are on the CDs, so you will have a model to copy, rather than trying to follow written instructions, and the speaking exercises and model sentences will get you talking in whole sentences from day one. Your Personal Tutor will talk you through the course and the exercises to make learning easier and more enjoyable.
You will follow an enjoyable and varied learning programme, and with the help of the frequent practice and repetition you will find it easy to remember the five new words you will meet a day. You will learn a few simple sentences by heart every day, too, and these will give you the confidence to speak without stumbling and embarrassment.
The leader in self-learning with more than 300 titles, covering all subjects.

- Approach – best-selling author has adapted the approach she uses in the highly successful ‘Instant’ language books to suit the needs of the complete beginner.
- Comprehensive – all you need to get you going! Pack comprises: 128-page book, two CDs, 48-page phrase book, 36 sentence flashcards, 120 individual flash cards.
- Programmed learning – the book gives you a programme to follow. Learn just five words a day for seven weeks, and check your progress as you go along to build your confidence and make learning French a pleasure.
- Material – there are only about 250 words for you to learn. These are introduced gradually and you are given lots of opportunities to reuse them, so that you retain what you are learning.
- Confidence – using the method Elisabeth Smith has perfected with her ‘Instant’ books you will speak from the start and build your confidence to speak.
- Recorded material – the two CDs will give you a model to follow so that you get your pronunciation right and are confident to speak right from the start and your Personal Tutor will be there to talk you through and keep you going.
- Road-tested – the teaching program has been fully trialled by Elisabeth on her classes in Spain and at the University of Natal, with resounding success.
