Hmm, mixed feelings
|
This book held all the vocabulary I needed for A level, but :
Since moving to France, I have found that the content is very outmoded, or plain wrong. Expressions are out of context, or mistranslated, and it can't be relied up on if you plan to use French in the real world.

Invaluable

I cannot recommend this book enough, I don't think I will ever grow out of it, as the mix of diverse vocab and essential essay phrases is perfect. I first came across this book in school when studying for my french AS/A2 Level and couldn't go to university without my own copy! I can equally recommend the german version Wort fuer Wort, I'm just waiting for an Italian version now!

Essential student vocab book
|
|
This should be a set text for all French AS/A level students - it covers vocab by topic, meaning that you can look up/learn vocab as you go through the topics in the syllabus, and it also has a handy section at the front with phrases for use in essays or spoken work. This version also has links to websites at the end of topics, which means you can check out articles relating to the topic straight after having learnt the vocab. I would recommend this to anyone studying AS/A level French and above - the sort of vocab it gives often pops up in listening exercises and reading comprehensions, especially since they have synonym sections now. Bonne chance!

Essential!

|
Having used Palabra por Palabra and Mot a Mot at A-Level I made sure I got a copy for myself to take to uniersity - I now own the German version Wort fur Wort too! The vocab is linked by theme, ideal for essay writing, conversation or interpreting preparation. I find the chapter with all those essential essay expressions is used in all my written assignments!
