    Indespensible5
    The best book for help learning a foreign language no matter what level of study.

    Essential for Students and more5
    I have been studying French for five years and this book 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.

    A MUST HAVE!5
    Lists every major verb and its variations. Alphabetically arranged. Easy to read and use. I am quite proficient, yet this is a valuable reference.
