Thank you for publishing the, usborne language guides for beginners books and audio series. I am excited about learning other languages and have chosen the French for beginners as my stepping stone to success. We have found the contents though simple and basic to be useful which once understood and practised would provide the fundamental foundation needed.However there is one thing I would like to bring to your attention, and that is the ladies voice on the audio cassette is hardly audible, hampering our ability to gain the maximum satisfaction from this otherwise good product. My prayer is that the information provided will be of assistance to you.

I purchased this book for use with my young son and for that purpose it wasn't right; the pages are crammed with info and are far too confused for children. For some adults it might be perfect, but I found the style far too busy and ended up returning it. Pros are that it certainly contains masses of information and if you are patient and stick with it I'm sure you would learn a lot.

Though I've only gone through the CD and book once, it's well formatted and easy to understand, because they've added some fun audio additions for you to listen for - ie -dog barking when they talk about 'le chien'...I think it's well organized and introduces every-day situations. Colorful and interesting, too!

I do not have the audio with this book but...the book itself is awesome! It covers many words and has great pictures!

The book is very good and easy to follow. It has an audio CD that make it better.
Very good for beginners like me.

This was too fast for a beginner, he said a word and then repeated and moved to the next, but very fast. I was not able to use it at all

I am really enjoying this book. Especailly the flash cards and the sticker book.
Everyone in class is jealous of my book because we all ordered on-line at amazon.com at the same time and all they got was a little flat stapled book and I hit the jackpot !! A bientot !
