    I just signed up for a fiveX/week French class at Santa Monica College, and may I say this diagram scares me. I’m just going to assume you’re in an advanced class. :)

    Don’t be too worried Anna. Just print out that simple diagram and your French will be perfect! French is one of the harder languages to learn-even French people have difficulty with all those verb conjugations (English has 6 verb tenses vs. 14 in French.) Although come to think of it, some Americans, even Presidents, have trouble with English!

    I ran to my fridge to pull out a petite swisse to eat whilst reading your post! But I ate it plain so that I could get right inside it’s personality. What a nifty size and packaging the whole minute thing is! wondrous.

    Where can one find that workbook? Or at least the name of it? I live in NYC, but will be in Paris this Fall. And, yes, French IS difficult to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it’s absolutely wonderful to hear something so beautiful coming out of your mouth! :-)

    Hi Jonathan:

    It’s from the workbook “Grammaire Progressive Francais” which I got at FNAC in the basement of Les Halles. They have tons and tons of French workbooks, but that’s the best, I think. It’s published by CLE and costs around 12 euros.
