I may be doing something wrong. I thought this would help me learn French but it seems to assume that i already know French. I have tried all sorts of things to understand what is going on but it gives me a French sentence and expects me to assemble it correctly and I have no clue what the words mean so.....

This is a good product to really practice and perfect speaking the correct way. I found it really interesting. It comes with a headset for listening and speaking into. However, I had to take the program off my computer because it slowed everything down. I will reinstall it at a later time when I have time to use it. But to have it sitting on my computer for me to use it a few minutes a day isn't worth the headache of it slowing everything down.
