3 Things That Set Chez Nous Apart

Provides rich, immersive coverage of the cultures of the French-speaking world through personal experiences of 15 cultural correspondents.

Integrates a robust focus on the connection between sounds and letters (sons et lettres) as well as the integration of language skills. Presents clear grammar explanations in the context of authentic communicative use with highly relevant examples.

Offers clear grammatical explanations with real world examples. Offers motivating unit-culminating Projets in which students showcase what they can do in French.

“The careful sequencing of the grammatical structures distinguishes Chez Nous from other introductory programs. It’s one of the reasons why we’ve stuck with it for so long.”

Daniel Hoffmann, University of California, Berkeley

“The focus on real-world communication, useful exercises, and engaging cultural correspondent videos, make Chez nous stand out from other textbooks. It teaches French, and it teaches students about the people who speak it.”

Madeline Muravchik, University of Maryland, College Park
