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.

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 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!

I have been trying (on and off) to learn French for many years. I have never had much luck until I bought this set of tapes. In just a month of driving back and forth to work (15 minutes each way), I have developed a basic proficiency that is useful when I visit Montreal. I think in a year, I'll truly be "speaking French". I highly recommend this product.

This series helped me more than any other to recover years of high school and assorted college courses in French. The Level 1 CDs cover easy common phrases, Level II includes strong reviews of verbs and tenses, and Level III reviews everything. Along the way, they include up-to-date computer and Internet vocabulary for the traveler, banking and ATMs, bus travel, social interactions, and shopping. The arrangement of phrases is very carefully designed to give you a natural and intuitive sense of grammar and word gender, and eventually expressions of conditions, time, and other useful expressions such as differences in 'must, ought, would, should" in the French usage. For those who want to see the language spelled out or review grammar, the PDF and printed booklets are excellent supplements.
This series goes well beyond tourist expressions and teaches the language along the way. The clarity of the French speakers' pronunciation is extremely helpful in presenting gender and other changes. I enjoyed my sense of accomplishment, rather than confusion, using this series. I have used others over the years for different languages, and strongly recommend this series for those with elementary exposure to any language classes. For those who have no language training, the concepts of tense, gender, conjugation, and so on, are not explained, they are given by example, so those learners may prefer a more tourist-oriented course.

You hear it over and over in the car, where you spend the most time, and you learn it.

I've know lots of people who buy Lenguages courses, follow them up for 2 weeks and then forget about it. "I don't have time" seems to be the excuse given more often. With this tapes you don't have any excuses: You are in your car, and you will be in there everyday, and there's really not much left to do, after all you are driving. So, spend you time wisely.

I'm amazed I've followed the course thru as long as I have.
