Customer Reviews

Great review of French language

This set is wonderful. Not only do you get 4 cassettes (90 minutes each), you also receive a book with the exact dialogue that is in the tape with translations and cultural notes. It is a very well-rounded program that is presented. It was perfect for someone like me who needed a brush up on my French.There are 20 themed lessons (tape and book). There is also a section on grammar and verb conjugation in allt eh differnet tenses in the back of the booklet.This is not for beginners but for those who want a brush up on the French language. It uses dialogue for practical usage should one have to go to France to communicate with the locals.

Great for a review or conversational practice

This would be great for a review for someone wanting to brush up dusty French skills. The recordings are great, and match the text, which gives the French dialogues along with colloquial English translations. The grammar sections of each chapter cover the recorded dialogues very well, and give good examples (which are in the text and on the recordings after the dialogues), but the examples and explanations are very brief. There are a few exercises at the end of each chapter - good for a review quiz, but not so good for learning drills, etc. I give it four stars not because I don't think it's a fine course, but because it should state more clearly what it is in the title. It is advanced conversational French practice, not a complete advanced French course.
