Part of the classic “For Dummies” series of books, this guide was written by Laura K. Lawless, who also runs the Lawless French website. There are grammar lessons and practice exercises with an answer key. It spends a lot of time reviewing the fundamentals, with plenty of explanation in English, so it might be a good choice for an upper-beginner or lower-intermediate level learner who needs a lot of guidance along the way.

A book like this is not the most helpful for practicing conversation, but it is the type of resource that can concisely explain the structures and grammar when you’re not sure how the language “works.” You can purchase it from several major retailers - one option is linked to below!
