TitleBook Review: Tuning up your French (and Spanish)
Body
I just got a new book that I'm finding really helpful. It's called "Tune Up Your
French" by Natalie Schorr. Amazon has it (in Canada and the US. The ISBN is
0071432299). The CD that's included has three native speakers with a
pleasant accent that doesn't interfere with understanding. It was also
inexpensive, as language books go. I bought it at Chapters-Indigo here in
Canada. This book lends itself well to quick, short readings -- snippets at a
time.

"Tune Up Your Spanish" will be out soon, but may be a bit simple for my
Spanish, which is much stronger. I like "Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish"
by Joseph J Keenan. It gets 5 stars on Amazon even after 57 reviews.
