Customer Reviews

Great learning system
I'm headed to Europe later this winter on business for a month and wanted to learn some basics to help me get by. Even if you're obviously an American, I've found if you make an effort, the locals treat you a lot better. I'm headed to Southern France, Spain and then up to Germany, so I got all three languages. The thing I really like about these programs is the different approaches included in each. The software program is very step-by-step. I found the pedagogy easy to follow and intuitive. I suggest starting with the main software program. It even critiques your speaking with a microphone, so if you don't have one, it is worth the $20. It helps with pronunciation and I'm learning to communicate, not just be able to read. The DVD included is also good. It is a little lighter than the software program, but is fun and reinforces some of the things I learned. The audio CDs are a very important part. I put them on when stuck in traffic and find the repetition is very effective. I also like the game included as it is fun and is helping me along. My French and Spanish are getting to a comfortable speaking level and I'll be onto German in-time for my trip.

pretty good....
...but there are better,albeit MUCH more expensive programs to buy.
This particular course of study is pretty thorough,and is interesting and as it says,you are immersed in the language...which is the best way to learn a foreign language.I also watch French movies and documentaries,without the subtitles first,then with,and I also buy books to read which are in French and English,side-by-side,parallel text.
However,if you can't see springing almost 400 bucks for that other language course,this one is a pretty good alternative.

Not well structured
I'm still struggling to find how to navigate the lessons in this package. I had expected something that would provide a structured set of lessons that would help me learn French. What I've found so far is a loosely bound set of tools and disjointed exercises. While it may be possible to learn French with this package, it's going to require a lot of work on my part just to figure out the best way to use the materials. I'm somewhat disappointed and wondering whether I should have bought a more expensive package that would have "taken me by the hand" and taught me French.
