Designed for those who really want to learn French but are daunted by the prospect of complicated grammar, classes and coursebooks, this course starts right from the beginning and explains everything in simple English. There are hints throughout to make learning easy and you can learn at your own pace with plenty of practice of each new point. It is a friendly introduction to the language which should help you to understand and speak French sufficiently well to function effectively in basic everyday situations. The course also offers an insight into French culture. The book is divided into two main parts. Units 1-10 introduce you to the basic structures and grammatical points you'll need in everyday situations. Units 11-19 deal with everyday situations such as booking into a hotel, shopping, eating and travelling. They give you the opportunity to put into practice and consolidate the language you have learnt in the first ten units. There is a special section on pronunciation at the beginning of the book to get you started and a short test at the end of each unit so that you can check your progress and review any areas of difficulty.New language is introduced through short dialogue

I love this CD! It is basic and helpful. I listen to it in the car while training my ear to words, phrases and pronounciation. The voices are clear and inviting. The only problem was that I did not receive the book that goes along with it (I'll be getting it soon from Amazon I believe), but his does not deter me from thinking that this is the CD to purchase if you are a beginner.
