"This CD Rom is a "Must" for learning how the French REALLY talk!" - William Martin, retired political editor, The Oakland Tribune
"I've tried them all and this one is it!" - Joe Hogan, CBS
"When I heard my first lesson I honestly felt betrayed by my other programs --why didn't they simply tell the truth about French pronunciation like SmartFrench does?" - Patricia J. Gust, Attorney, Los Angeles, CA
"I have three other French language courses, and I've learned more from this one than I have the others put together." - Cynthia Stull, Washington, DC, writes contracts for the National Cancer Institute, for the AIDS programs around the world.
Learning a foreign language is typically a very frustrating experience. After spending countless hours in a classroom environment, most find that they are still unable to comprehend world French as it is naturally spoken between native French people.
SmartFrench does what conventional language courses will not do. The program is designed to teach you pragmatic rules to learn "spoken" French, not "textbook" French. Just by following the simple, easy and enjoyable program, you will build your speaking confidence, right from the very beginning.
Used in Embassies all over the world and by travelers and businessmen, SmartFrench helps develop the ability to listen effectively and to fully understand the French language based on real live conversations as opposed to scripted dialogue.
SmartFrench is not delving into grammar like other methods are. The grammar taught in SmartFrench is the grammar commonly used. What other methods will not or cannot teach you is how to understand and speak French like a native. With a little patience, you will soon feel more and more confident about your ability to "talk" French just by learning how to recognize the "rhythm" of the language and its predictable patterns. Even an advanced student who experiences difficulty will become fluent in no time using SmartFrench.
