Avis-yam Although I found this very useful, you might want to start super basic with like pronunciation and things for those just starting. I don't know how easy you want to start though. Mh... Yes , you're right. Although it's quite tough to explain the french pronunciation x'D

I actually have books that explain French pronunciation rules. Sometimes those are harder for native speakers to get because said natives have accents. I've never heard a French person without any accent. mad D
So if you'd like help, I could outline the rules for you.

I didn't know for the tenses...
Anyways, it's not surprising, latin roots in common ;]
The main difference between French and the other Romance languages , I think, is the Greek roots [like... 30/40 % of the french words come from the greek ] surprised

You did an awesome job! Very clear and concise. I haven't read through of all of it yet, however I would like to suggest a part on Idioms.
I do not want to be out of my place, however got a couple of suggestions that maybe helpful. I know these things helped me a lot.
I know there are sites online which have pronunciation of some basic things which might be useful for anyone who wants to know how something sounds. About.com is a useful one.
Also, some other sites of interest, if anyone is interested,is wordreference.com (online french dictionary-it has quite a few idioms) and verbix.com (which does verb conjugations)
