CD has some verb French Audio you can hear

Most importantly, and innovatively for a traditional verb conjugation book, the CD, included inside the back cover of my paperback version of the book, has some computer CD drive Flashcards where, on your computer on the shown "Flip" click, you see a Speaker icon, and then click that icon to hear the AUDIO IN FRENCH of the shown verb in that particular tense and person as used in that shown test sentence which is in French. This Audio is selective as a Flashcard exercise with AUDIO to click on, and is not at all the whole book of verbs in audio by any means. Each conjugated verb has about three sentences at the bottom of its printed full page conjugation, illustrating its meaning in a French sentence and giving the English translation. Three sentences is ok to me. Some other larger book might have more sentences. 50 verbs selected as most important verbs are marked by an icon in the text at the top of the verb's page. Print is nicely readable. Verbs are in alphabetical order. There is some basic explantion of the tenses and of some false-cognate verbs (which have an unexpected meaning). Size is about 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 1.2 inches thick, with 574 total pages. Tiny Typo: Book knows "compound" tenses (two words) from "simple" tenses (one word), despite rare small text typos saying the "complex" tense, instead of the correct term, as in the book's Glossary page 9, the "compound" tense. There is a list at end of many other verbs, book says 1300, each keyed to a similarly conjugated verb in book. CD is to me very innovative in giving some French Audio, and the book has a lot, 500 plus 1300, verb forms in it. Read more
