I am a former US diplomat and current international business consultant. I can say that Language Dynamics courses are the only courses I know of that are truly dedicated to effective and immediate communication in the target language. Academic courses often reflect the literary interests of professors, many of whom never had the experience of learning the target language as a second language. With these courses, you can hit the streets after every lesson knowing you can say more than you could yesterday.

If you go to the other French products by Language Dynamics, you will find the same comment left by this so-called former diplomat below. So watch out!

I bought the cassettes which were fair, but there are frequent recorded references to a textbook such as "You are now on page six". The book was not included in the package. I e-mailed Language Dynamics about the book clearly stating that I was willing to pay extra for the textbook if neccesary. They never replied. Some people may say that you don't need the book. I would like to look at the words so I would recognize them in print. Besides, saying "you are on page six" without giving any information on how to get the book is bad service.

5001 French Sentences is a one of a kind masterpiece of simplicity. I admire anyone or anything that can make the difficult easy, and this course has done it for me. I particulary enjoyed visiting the help website listed on the course where I found helpful tips for learning a foreign language. I checked out the testimonials and found the names and backgrounds to be 'the real thing'.
