5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Learning Aid For The Novice, May 14, 2006

I purchased "Learn French Now! Win/Mac" based on my previous use of version 6 for an older Mac Powerbook. The older version wouldn't run on my newer computer, so I had to purchase the newer version. There appears to be some minor improvements, including access to the internet to provide helpful grammatical references. The interactive dialog is the greatest aspect of this software. It allows you to read, listen, or participate in interactive conversations. In addition, the software tracks your progress with sound graphing and voice playback of your conversation. The program also has interactive games that let you break the monotony of learning. I have tried other language software programs, but this is the best software for the price that I have encountered. I am making steady progress in the uninterrupted privacy of my home. As with all learning aids, the most effective progress can be made by scheduling routine, habitual sessions with the software. If you are not prepared to do this, then it is doubtful that any software at any price will not meet your expectations. I highly recommend this software for the beginning French language enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good investment, March 19, 2006

This review is from: Learn French Now! 10.0 (CD-ROM)

I had "Learn German," and "Learn Spanish" by this company, so I knew I'd like their French lessons. The CD can be installed on your computer's hard drive to make repeated use more convenient. The program will give you sentences at conversational speed, clearly spoken, but you can listen one word at a time, using "repeat" as often as necessary. There are many variations included, making learning fun and easy. I recommend this product highly.

I bought this primarily to work on verbal skills and comprehension when listening to spoken French. It's working and I enjoy studying with it. The software didn't install initially due to a problem with the CD but the Amazon seller contacted the vendor and resolved the problem by getting me a good copy ASAP. I had excellent customer service.
