About this book

228 pages · 164 practice sets · 3,139 exercises with the full answer key — the course and written practice in one book.

Book 5 of the 15-book French Ladder — three levels, five modules each: Basic, Independent, Proficient. Module 5 is the Basic band's mastery book: the whole A1-A2 band consolidated at speed, the two past tenses mastered side by side, the futur simple and opinion phrases met early, exam-shaped reading and writing training, a full module self-check, and the honest bridge into level B1 — where the Independent series picks up the climb.

Reading about French is free everywhere, including our own free study material online. What this book sells is the WORK: thirty write-in lessons, two practice pages after every lesson, and 70 Daily Practice pages where every day ends with revision of everything before it — spaced repetition on paper, the reason the words stay. Then a picture page to color and label in every unit, word searches and crosswords, and six games built from the module's own words, unit checks, a module self-check in exam shape, and the complete answer key.

  • Every word carries its gender and a say-it respelling — le livre, "luh LEEVR" — from the very first noun.
  • Sequential by design: Module 5 assumes Module 4, and the printed Start Here page checks in ten prompts whether you are ready or should spend two more weeks below.
  • The one-answer rule: match, choose, unscramble, fill — every exercise has exactly one right answer, printed in the key. Generated and machine-checked from verified word lists.
  • Self-paced, for kids and grown-up beginners: readable by a school-age child working with a parent, never childish for an adult working alone.
  • Every lesson page teaches before it drills: a titled rule box, a filled-in example row, and a "Watch out" line naming the mistake English speakers make there.
  • A QR code on every lesson page opens that lesson's free audio and study notes at learnpassgrow.com/learn/french — no app, no account.
  • Know where you stand: every unit check ends with CEFR "I can…" lines; the back matter carries a one-page module reference and an A-to-Z glossary of every word with its gender and respelling; six "Did you know?" boxes along the way.
  • The free online companion at learnpassgrow.com/learn/french: every lesson to read again, audio for every lesson, printable flashcards, and more practice.

Module 2 completes A1; Modules 3-4 cover A2; Module 5 is the band-mastery book with exam-shaped practice. The ladder then climbs on: Independent (B1-B2) and Proficient (C1-C2).
