'Thinking French Translation is one of the most exciting courses produced for second and third-year undergraduates.' - Modern Languages Journal'A close comparison of this edition with the original shows how much work has gone into refining explanations, updating some of the practical exercises, and improving page lay-out. The result is an excellent tool for student and teacher, based on solid theoretical principles, yet transparent and eminently practical.'
