The Indicative Mood: 105 Fundamental French Verbs

105 Essential or Fundamental French Verbs is a bilingual French-English manual which presents an innovative learning method for those who wish to master the French indicative mood. By classing the verbs in terms of frequency of use, both oral and written, the teacher or student is able to progress logically and at his own rhythm. In order to help English speakers learn the correct French pronunciation, a simple color coding has been applied to signal complex sounds and to indicate silent letters. To reinforce a cumulative learning experience, each new element is subsequently recapitulated through diagrams and tables that show how it is used in the different tenses, as well as how these are formed. MARIANNE YAYANE VERBUYT is a teacher and educator with a passion for transmitting knowledge. After more than two decades working within some of the most renowned scholoastic institutions in Europe and the United States, as a co-author of the book, "Apprendre malgré le handicap ou la maladie" and as the primary educator highlighted in the acclaimed documentary, "Sur la route couleur de sable", Marianne decided to apply all of her pedagogical experience to understanding the mechanisms of learning. Integrating feedback from her many students, she figured out a coherent and innovative way to communicate the complexities of the French language to a non-Frenchspeaker. The simple and graphic aesthetic of this manual is intended to transform the student into a powerful particiapnt in his or her own learning process.
