Champs-Elysées Plus™ (C-E+) Champs-Elysées is proud to announce a major upgrade to its French study supplement. Called Champs-Elysées Plus™ (C-E+), the new package adds two study supplements to the basic subscription.
Audio flash cards of key words and expressions in the program make it easy to build vocabulary and improve your accent. And just for fun, there's a bonus feature-in English-that explores various aspects of the French language. Like Champs-Elysées, the audio exercises are portable, so you can fit them conveniently into your busy life. Work on them anywhere you can take an audio player, and see how quickly your fluency improves! The printed workbook contains lists of the audio flash cards so you can see how the words and phrases are spelled. There is also a summary in English of each feature in that issue of Champs-Elysées, so you'll have an idea of what to listen for. Postlistening exercises consisting of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true-false, and matching questions firm up your grasp of French grammar. And since every component of Champs-Elysées is designed to make learning French enjoyable, there are special exercises to entertain and exercise the mind. An answer key is included.
If you're still working to tune your ear to native speech, Champs-Elysées Plus can help you make
the kind of progress that would be hard to achieve without spending several months in France.
Italian
Produced six times a year in Rome, Acquerello italiano showcases the vitality and style of contemporary Italy. Recent issues include features on the sculpture collection of the Palazzo Altemps, Roman Jewish cuisine, and Seborga, a small principality in Liguria that wants to break away from Italy.
Another key highlight is host Lao Petrilli’s interview with
controversial Benetton fashion photographer Oliviero Toscani about his
daring advertising campaigns.
German
Journalists in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland provide a fascinating overview of German-speaking Europe every month in Schau ins Land. Recent
highlights include an interview with the ice-skater Katarina Witt, a
visit to Stralsund on the Baltic coast, a look at the German healthcare
system, a profile of composer Richard Strauss, and a feature on the
disappearing art of making Gamsbärte (and you’ll find out what Gamsbärte are!).
A talented group of broadcast journalists in Madrid examines the colourful textures of Hispanic culture every two months in Puerta del Sol. Among the intriguing segments in the recent editions are an interview with Federico Mayor Zaragoza, director general of UNESCO, a feature on Spanish culture on the internet and a visit to the Alhambra.
In addition, Isabel
Allende, daughter of former Chilean president Salvador Allende, talks
about the arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in London.
