4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Just Listen 'N Learn French Plus (Paperback)

A very useful course to get a real feel for the sound and use of the language. Not for beginners; you need to have worked with the basic course for awhile to get the real benefit. Is much more realistic than the normal "stilted text studio recorded" scripts.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Review Kit Out There!!!, August 11, 2002

By

This review is from: Just Listen 'N Learn French Plus (Paperback)

All right, the first kit definatly was not perfection, but this one is. I say review kit, because it really is a review. You need to have gone over the first kit, or have some other experience with the French language, to actually appreciate what this kit has to offer.

I saw that another reviewer said that they speak much faster in this kit. Well, yes, that is true, but it is very clear to me. Unlike the other kit, where you'd frequently hear background noises, in this kit you hear none. Well, at least not as much as the other.

Most of what you'll find in this kit actually is review. They don't teach you a lot of new concepts, but what you really need is a review if you just finished up the first kit of this series.

Also, they received a lot of user-input on how to improve this kit, and I have to tell you, it worked. One of the things that I enjoy is that they now have more practice with speaking the language. After every dialogue, they give you "Travaux Pratiques", it's a set of exercises which help you practice the material you've gone over in the last dialog. At the end of Travaux Pratiques, you get a thing sort of like Your Turn To Speak, well, it's exactly like that, and it allows you to speak the language, something desperatly needed in the first edition of the series.

Anyway, this kit is very great, and it will put you at the head of your French class. I just started high school, I'm taking French I, and I am ahead of everyone else by far! I could probably move ahead to French II, or perhaps even French III. But again, if you really want to take advantage of this kit, by the first one too, it is a MUST.

pour ceux qui deja le parle. Si vous deja comprendez que francais est tres difficile, comme les autres langues de etranger, vous pouvez utiliser cet cours. Il n'y a pas facile facon d'apprendre le francais sauf ecoute, ecoute, ecoute. Cet cours vous donne le meilleur chemin a vrai francais parce que nous avons besoin ecoute, ecoute, ecoute! Les parleurs sont Francais et Francaise et ils parlent trop vite. On peut apprendre plus vite par ecoute, ecoute, ecoute. On doit etre un auditeur avant un parleur. Si vous etes serieux en apprendre le francais vous vous amuseriez avec cet cours autant que j'avais. Au revoir.
