This workbook presents a cross-section of French-speaking people from European, African, North American, and Caribbean countries discussing contemporary French culture. Designed as an accompanying resource for the DVD it is aimed at elementary to intermediate students and offers transcriptions of the conversations and notes on vocabulary and grammar in the interview, helping to improve reading skills. Students, teachers, farm workers, artisans, police, engineers, airline employees, and other people discuss many topics, including French family life, work, sports, politics, education, and technological achievements.

"This video and workbook offer an interesting and appealing way to give students snapshots of the French and Francophone culture while developing all four language skills." Christiane Laeufer, Ohio State University"
