1.0 out of 5 stars More like a English to French dictionary on tape., December 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Audio French Cassette (LL(R) All-Audio Courses) (Audio Cassette)

If you are looking to speak and understand French, this is the wrong course. Simple words and phrases are spoken in english then repeated in French. You are to repeat after the french speaker. The problem is that you only hear each word/phrase once. The average person with no French background would have to listen to the tape 10-20 times just to retain some of the material. The first tape goes through the whole alphabet, a ton of numbers, complete conjugation of several verbs, and different greetings.

A better choice for the beginner, would be a course where you will actaully LEARN to speak and respond to French sentences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lousy way to learn, great way to review, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Audio French Cassette (LL(R) All-Audio Courses) (Audio Cassette)

The tapes were a good way to review, but I wouldn't recommend them if you are trying to learn French in the first place. If you've already taken a couple of French classes this a great way to practice while you're driving or doing housework. It would be great if there were a companion book, not just the little booklet, since there were a couple of sentences I could not make out, but overall I found it a useful way to keep up my French.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to learn and review, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Audio French Cassette (LL(R) All-Audio Courses) (Audio Cassette)

With this great program I was able to review my moribund highschool French in several hours just before my trip to Paris, which made the trip so much more enjoyable. This is a great program for those who want to review their French and like me, have neither time nor patience to go through an extensive course with a book. I had some French in high-school, but like so many other people, I never felt like I could really use it. These tapes contain the basic vocabulary and grammar, and I improved my pronunciation, too, by listening over and over to the dialogues and words without worrying about the writing. Anyway, I highly recommend this program. And you can do it during your airplane trip, too. I takes an hour or so less that the actual trip.
