Hugo Advanced French

I bought this book complete with CDs, and started reading and listening to it some time during or after the CERN French course. I often re-read bits of it because some of the subtler points haven't entirely sunk in. The straight texts read on the CDs were useful in the beginning, when I needed to read and listen to a passage several times before understanding every word. The CD versions of exercises from the book are not so useful though, since the CD can't tell me whether I am pronouncing things correctly. I would have liked more listening exercises focussing on distinguishing different phonemes, but I guess what I really want to do is a phonetics course. In any case, considering the importance of French in my life I think the CDs are worth having.
