Teach yourself French
2 journalers for this copy...
"First published in this form April 1938, This impression 1960"..
It's a very old "Teach-yourself-book", I don't know where I got it from and I never really studied it in depth, but it might be helpful if one wants to improve his/her French.
Living in France for eight years now has helped me to improve my French, but reading French novels is still very hard for me and I avoid writing, because my speaking and listening skills are a lot better!
That's why I'm freeing this book, after several useless years on my bookshelf!
From the preface:
"Anyone who studies it conscientiously should be able at the end to read any novel or newspaper, to write understandable French, (...) and to find his way about in France without choosing toothpicks on the menu instead of soup or telling an astonished waiter that he has an enormous wife, when he really means that he is very hungry. In other words he will know quite a lot of French and something about France and be in a position to get to know a good deal more about both. What more can he want?"

I brought it to the German-French meetup on Saturday.
