Mama Anna Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'll cross-post this to the K-8 board. My dd 12 is working through Rosetta Stone French. She is doing well with the pronunciation, the listening, and the reading. (Writing is dependent on her remembering that all those accent thingies actually matter for the purposes of spelling. :) ) However, her understanding of grammar is . . . weak, shall we say. (I realize now that this is not surprising with RS.) I need to supplement the grammar. I don't want to give her a typical high school French text and have her wade through a complete different program. I'm looking for something that is grammar-specific. Something that teaches all the regular conjugations as well as the irregular verbs. Something that explains which prepositions are used in which expressions, including idioms. Etc. Does the Hive have any BTDT suggestions? TIA! Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Skeleton French from Galore Park sounds like the thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Does she have her own copy of Becherelle? It's so quick and easy to use as a reference for all French verbs. It looks like there is an on-line version as well, but a hard copy is great to look through. https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PDDZC0M5L.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.amazon.com/Art-Conjuguer-French-Edition-Bescherelle/dp/2894282591&h=475&w=332&tbnid=qrhlQZckjdbUCM:&tbnh=160&tbnw=111&docid=uUGmYs9Q5bE0wM&itg=1&usg=__wuGmzX5Ru0OgvcDHMtTmCDOmXVA= Edited March 17, 2016 by wintermom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The CLE Grammaire Progressive books (beginner, intermediate, advanced, "perfectionnement") are my favorite grammar books. No frills. Find the pages on the topic you're having trouble with, do the exercises. Reprise and Ultimate French Review and Practice are also good. I like Reprise better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
