Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tape/cd series, November 5, 2001

This review is from: Learn in Your Car-French: 3 Level Set: Complete Language Course: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guides (Learn in Your Car Series - Includes Individual Levels 1, 2 and 3) (Audio Cassette)

I have tried many different french learning CDs and tapes. I really like this series because it repeats all the phrases twice giving you plenty of time in between to answer questions and repeat phrases. Some of the other tapes (such as Living Language all audio) do not repeat the phrases and don't leave the listener enough time to fully participate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy way to learn, September 6, 2000

This review is from: Learn in Your Car-French: 3 Level Set: Complete Language Course: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guides (Learn in Your Car Series - Includes Individual Levels 1, 2 and 3) (Audio Cassette)

This is a great method which starts with simple words and builds to more complex phrases. It is great to use anytime and gives a great concise presentation of all the basics. This method allows for easy recall of what has been learned. I have also tried this system with Spanish ans Russian and have found those to be of equal value.

This review is from: Learn in Your Car-French: 3 Level Set: Complete Language Course: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guides (Learn in Your Car Series - Includes Individual Levels 1, 2 and 3) (Audio Cassette)

This is the 3rd course I purchased, but the first one to work. For the first time I can really say a few things and actually understand why they are said that way.

Other sets I bought required a lot of time reading accompanying books. But I never had time for that! The only time I had for French was literally in the car, on the way to and from work.

This set worked marvelously. I needed to glance at the book just once, after that I just kept listening to cassettes.

Thank you for a great course!
