5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, July 2, 2005

This review is from: Tell Me More French Version 6 (CD-ROM)

I've been using this software for about 2 months, and I have to say it is really great. I'm learning with a focus on reading, and I do feel pleased with the progress I've made, even with just 1 or 2 hours a day. I feel comfortable with the grammar and vocabulary, which is what I have been emphasizing. Also, the speaking and listening exercises are helpful, even though sometimes the dialogs are spoken a bit fast. After all, we second language learners aspire to rise to the level of native speakers, so it's great practice. Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great software, recommended by my teacher, August 8, 2006

This review is from: Tell Me More French Version 6 (CD-ROM)

I attend Rice University and take French classes there. We use TeLL me More during our classes and I though it would be much better for me to get my own copy, so I can also use it after class and progress faster. The activities are really engaging and you can really progress in French, and not be bored. My teacher put a lot of emphasis on the pronunciation part, as this software really helps you improve it

I also like the cultural workshop so I can learn French history, geography,..., before going to Paris next year.

I am not sure about the other reviews, as I had no technical problem whatsoever with that program and I actually have a 3 year old computer. Also, no problem at my school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Je parle Francais (I speak French)!, February 23, 2006

This review is from: Tell Me More French Version 6 (CD-ROM)

This product really taught me French very easily. I was amazed at how fast I learnt. I used other software in the past and was not completely satisfied as I just learnt some sentences or words, but could not develop a full understanding of the language as there was no grammar, or always something missing. This software is very complete: grammar, audio-glossary, speaking activities, it even comes with a "cultural workshop" where you learn different things about the French culture. I reached the Intermediate level and cannot wait to go to the Advanced level and improve even more.
