5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Amazingly Fast!, February 26, 2009

By 

Lemur Nimbley "I like apples" (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Learn To Speak French Deluxe (CD-ROM)

We got this two days ago and my eight year old son is speaking French! He's speaking beautiful French!!! I am completely astounded that we were both able to pick this up so quickly. We can have entire conversations already. The price for this is just shocking to me. So affordable! So worth it!

We haven't even delved into all of the features included in this package yet, and we're already well on our way to a firm grasp of this language. Listen to just one of the audio CDs even once, and you'll be speaking French. Listen a lot and you'll be a master in less than a month. It also comes with neato interactive software and a super rad instructional book.

Fantastic product! Thank goodness I didn't spend $500 on Rosetta Stone language software! Maybe we'll put that money toward a trip to Paris instead!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Title, August 9, 2010

This review is from: Learn To Speak French Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Overall this is really good software for learning French. It has great games to practice vocabulary and grammar exercises. It even includes a French/English dictionary and phrase book you can download on your phone. It's definitely one of my favorites, and I've purchased several language learning titles. For whatever reason, they removed some of the extra videos and accompanying exercises that were included in earlier versions. This was irritating. They did add a talking dictionary which is great, but not nearly as comprehensive as my Collins French-English Talking Dictionary, which is an awesome resource for any French language learner. Because of the diversity and creativity of the lessons and exercises, I would say Learn to Speak French is better than Rosetta Stone.

2.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED!!!, September 13, 2009

Kip (CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Learn To Speak French Deluxe (CD-ROM)

I purchased this because I have an older version that I used a few years back and learned alot from it so I thought it would be great to get the deluxe version. However, to my dismay this new version does not work well at all. Many of the graffics will not come up, some of the speech recognition reviews say you are saying the wrong answer when you are actually saying the correct answer. I called support regarding these problems and I was told that the graffics that are not there were NEVER on any version and that is simply not ture. I actually have to older versions and I assure you that all the graffics work well and the speech recognition works correctly. I have a friend that purchased this same program and has the same exact problems so I know it's not my disk only. I really love the french language and I have tried almost program they have out there as I really want to learn the best I can. I have tried the Rosetta Stone that I borrowed from a friend and I PROMISE this is not the best either. I truly think the very best out there is TELL ME MORE PERFORMANCE. It teaches you so much and has so many graffics, video's, tests, drills, vocabulary, etc. when they say 2000 hours worth I promise that is the truth, and the speech recognition is out of this world, it is light years ahead of RS and the many other programs I have tried. I do have to say though that if you want a good program for little money that Learn to Speak French is a really good way to start out. If you don't mind a lot of the graffics not working and the speech recognition messing up once in awhile you are certain to learn a solid foundation of the language from this program. And if you want the very very very best out there spend the money on TELL ME MORE PERFORMANCE you will love it and you will learn to speak french like a pro. I hope this helps you make the decision you are looking for.
