Summary: A New Exciting Approach To Learning A Foreign Language
Comment: I have taken many French courses and purchased many French language books but have had difficulty retaining want I had learned. Learning through memorization became tedious and started to feel more like a chore. However French By Association offered a different approach. Through its "learning by association" principle, I have been able to learn new words very quickly in a fun way and more importantly, I have been able to retain the information. I have learned to create a mental image of the words so that when I am thinking of a word a mental image appears, the wackier the better. This is my first review of a book on Amazon. I thought it would be important to share my view with people who may be experiencing difficulty in learning another language. I highly recommend it. Best of Luck!

Summary: Good idea, regrettable execution
Comment: The technique of association is actually quite useful in picking up vocabulary. Unfortunately, the vocabulary you will pick up here is so limited -- and the "associations" so strained -- that I found it to be of little use.
Still, the idea behind association is sound, and if you create your own associations to fix difficult words into your mind, you'll find yourself picking up a foreign language much more quickly. I'd recommend using this book to learn the technique, then making up associations of your own to memorize words with which you are having difficulty.
This is also not a book which will stand on its own: use this in conjunction with another text or set of texts.

Summary: Teach an old dog
Comment: I have tried many books and tapes to learn French as I vacation there every year. Most are as forgetable as the french you are trying to learn. French by association by comparison has worked wonders, I actualy use the french I have learned in this book and It's very rewarding. This book has built up my french vocabulary wonderfuly.
