5.0 out of 5 stars For Intermediate Conversational French, February 9, 2002
By Lori St.Angelo (Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
I really enjoy using this program and I highly recommend it. This program has very good conversational skill levels. You practice speaking and it rates your pronunciation. It helps you to improve your listening skills as well. It has word games, grammar tools and vocabulary building. The real life videos are average. However, it would be difficult to use this program unless you have learned some grammar. I recommend this program to all intermediate french learners.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware many of the other reviews, written by company..., December 27, 2003
By M. Greengard "Mig Greengard" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's hard to imagine a more transparent attempt to inflate the user ratings for these products. Over half of the five-star rated reviews are copy-paste identical. Not coincidentally, there is one such review for each language product they make. I'm glad Amazon is bunching them together so you can see this clearly. Beware!

A friend lent me the French version and it's mediocre and unstructured.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice course, July 26, 2002
By A Customer
Once installed, at first looks, you may start to wonder as to where is all the vocabulary. But believe me as soon as you go into the individual modules, you will find all the vocabulary. And things like the screen saver help a lot too. Just watching the screen saver I have found so many new words and sentences even. Definitely much better than most courses. I was planning on going to a school for French but seems that now I don't need it :)
