4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, best for people who already know a little French., November 18, 2001

I have the 2001 version and I think it is hilarious. They frequently have a theme that runs for a few days. The previous reviewer was accurate in stating the pronunciation is only given on a key word or phrase each day. Here are two of my favorites from the 2001 version: "Ca t'apprendra a etre aussi stupide!" (That'll teach you to be so stupid!) "Maman! Il y a un croque-mitaine dans le placard!" (Mommy! There's a bogeyman in the closet!) (forgive my lack of accents, etc.)

1.0 out of 5 stars YOU DO NOT WANT IT!, September 29, 2001

If the selection of material in this calendar is as poor as it has been previously, then you do not want to buy it. The articles to denote gener are not given with any of the featured words. I was always taught that it was culturally incorrect for words in this language to stand alone. Further, the phonetic pronunciations are only given for the featured words. There are no pronunciations for any of the phrases. Also, there is no continuity from day to day, and the phrases are so "far out" that they are hardly worth learning. I would not recommend this calendar to anyone who truly wants to learn the language.
