Deux mondess widely regarded as the most communicative text available for beginning French courses. Based on the Natural Approach developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, this text offers beginning language students a way to develop language proficiency (especially in listening and speaking) that allows them to participate in real conversations at a very early stage. The Natural Approach in general, and Deux mondes, Sixth Edition in particular, present material inductively (so that the activities drive the grammar), students quickly become excited about their rapid growth in comprehension and vocabulary acquisition and enjoy speaking in the non-threatening environment made possible by the activity formats.

Deux Mondes-Great French language book
Ordered the book for an undergrad French II course. I hadn't taken French in 8 years so I took a look at earlier chapters for a review. Very easy to understand.
Great book, easy to follow exercises. Editions only change slightly. I purchased a 4th edition (Instructor edition for $10) and with the exception of a few history stories, the book editions are the same.
I feel bad for some of my classmates who spent over $120 for a new book. My copy was lightly used and missing the CD, but certainly worth it!
