What Others Say
Loved it!
This is an excellent reference, and the CD with interactive exercises is fantastic! Loved it! Definitely a worthwhile investment for anyone learning French.
Excellent aquisition
This is really one of the best French Verbs's book you can/need to buy. All the contents are really good, including the explanations, exercises and the cd-room. Actually, I think if you have this French Verbs book you won't need anything else. It helps all the students whether they are beginner whether they're advanced.
Great Resource but How do You Use the Verbs?
Barron's 501 French Verbs is a great resource. However ... How does one assemble all of these nifty verbs into meaningful sentences and communication?
My answer to this question is Macmillan Audio's new Behind the Wheel - French 1. Here at last is a course that not only teaches you how to speak and pronounce verbs, but also teaches you how to assemble them into powerful and meaningful sentences that you design yourself.
My recommendation is that you buy both.
Indespensible
The best book for help learning a foreign language no matter what level of study.
Essential for Students and more
I have been studying French for five years and 501 French Verbs: with CD-ROM (Barron's Foreign Language Guides) has been within arms length for the last three. It has been the one text (and I have upwards of 20) that I have found truly indispensable. The scope of the verbs used, from the essential "avoir" and "etre" to the more normal "parler," "finir," and "vendre," to headaches like "boire" and "pouvoir."
Aside from the titular 501 French words, there is an appendix with 1001 words, referring the reader to a verb conjugated similarly to ones not included in the original 501.
