I made a French grammar workbook for adult self-learners — focused on logic, not memorisation
I've been teaching French to adult learners for a few years now, and the same frustration came up with almost every student: they'd spent months on apps or classes and still didn't understand the grammar — they'd just memorised rules that kept falling out of their head.
The problem I kept seeing: most resources tell you what the rule is but never why it exists. Once you understand the logic, it actually sticks.
So I put together a workbook built around that idea. Things like:
- Why French has three different ways to say "some" and when to use each
- A cleaner way to remember être vs. avoir in passé composé that doesn't involve memorising a list of 17 verbs
- Why imparfait and passé composé aren't interchangeable and how to always know which one to use
It covers 8 grammar topics, includes 40 exercises with full answer key explanations, a tense cheat sheet, and 100 sentence starters with grammar notes.
Happy to answer any French grammar questions in the comments — the être/avoir thing trips up almost everyone, ask me anything. If anyone wants the link, just comment and I'll share it.
