I am always on the look out for stuff that will help me develop my listening skills and increase my vocabulary in French. This product is excellent for that. Generally, since I am pretty advanced, I can understand most of what is said, but there are definite exceptions.
You should have a decent grasp of the language already for many semester credits of French. This is pretty cool since it has the French transcript for the audio, translations, and the notes from the professor, to speak it. I had this for quite a while and didn't bother to use it, but I am glad I bought it, and I am glad I am using it now.

This is a really good program! It's educational and entertaining at the same time. In addition to the story and a few other features, it includes an interview of the two main characters, which is really funny. It also includes a quiz to test your knowledge. It's really helping me increase my vocabulary, as well as getting me used to hearing and understanding French. Out of all the French language software out there (and being a software junky, I must have over half of them) this is definitely one of the best.

This interactive learning experience is fun, colorful and very humorous! It makes learning enjoyable! The only drawback to this program is that it is quite difficult to understand at first. You need to have substantial knowledge of French to be able to catch on to the process; luckily there is an English translation to everything so that you can figure it out. Overall I found Asterix to be a good learning tool in my ongoing effort to learn French.
