5.0 out of 5 stars Bonjour - Comme ci comme ça, July 24, 2006

By	Zipprorah Robinson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this. After the pretests it started me off with things that beginners should know when speaking. It gets you speaking right away. The workbook is good, too. They have an audio cd that I've been listening to while cleaning. So you get to learn to listen read and talk first. And then you learn how to write. I've been messing with this thing everyday. I love it!!! Can't wait to get into a real class and talk with real people. I'll be ahead this time.

My wife and I are trying to learn French fast and this program is making that happen. It is done in an interesting and fun way that keeps your attention. It does not waste a lot of time boring you with details, but gets into conversations fast.
