The first edition of French Essentials for Dummies was published in 2011 and has my name on it because more than a third of its content was taken from my book Intermediate French for Dummies, with no input from me.

The new, second edition is very different: I edited and in some chapters even completely rewrote it, and am now proud to call it my ninth book. If you’re looking for a reference book that you can dip into to get an overview of or a reminder about verb conjugations, adverbial pronouns, or whatever other intermediate-ish grammar you need to learn or brush up on, this is the one: it covers the essentials.

French Essentials for Dummies is available in both paperback and ebook versions at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or your favorite bookstore.

I’m very pleased to announce the publication of my 8th (and likely final) book: French Workbook for Dummies.

If you want to learn French by reading lessons and then taking lots of quizzes, this is the French book for you. Topics range from greetings and holiday wishes to parts of speech and verb conjugations, and there are tons of practice exercises throughout.

French Workbook for Dummies is available in both paperback (recommended) and ebook versions at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or your favorite bookstore.

My book Intermediate French for Dummies includes intermediate-level grammar lessons, writing tips, and practice exercises, and is the most extensive (and, all modesty aside, the best) book I’ve written. Check it out at Amazon.com or your favorite bookstore: Intermediate French for Dummies
