"I would mention the Activites musicales as a noteworthy, innovative addition to Bravo! I would add that the ten songs included enhance the francophone emphasis supported by the 6th edition (MC Solaar and Zachary Richard are examples) and that the music is accessible to students at the Heinle website, while teachers can find the lyrics on the Instructor Resource CD-ROM."

"The idea of including short cultural and literary readings has always been a good approach. I was trained to teach with the Review-View-Preview method, so I am already convinced of its efficiency in the classroom."
