Au revior.

Although the content of this program is excellent, I found it frustrating because the phrases are only stated once and there are not enough pauses to allow interaction from the listener. For this reason I prefer the Learn in your car French series that states each phrase in English and then twice in French allowing time in between for the listener to practice and interact with the tape.

Living Language has been around for a long time (my mom knew about them!), but I guess there's a reason for that. These guys really know what they're doing. I loved the CD and the guidebook, and after studying with it, I felt very confident on my trip to France last fall. It's a great way to learn. PS There's even a dictionary included in the package!

I found this cd set to be an excellent review. I had studied French for years and just needed a thorough refresher course before a trip to Paris. I would recommend it to anybody who has studied a romance language in the past. I particularly like it because I can listen to it in the car and don't need to refer to a book. The phrase book is very sparse so I would not recommend it to anybody who has not previously studied a romance language.

This is a 6 CD set which says "learn in your car", "no reading required". I have a good ear and a friend from france staying with me. Yet, I am having difficulty because words and phrases are said only once and at normal speaking speed. A phrase such as "Enchante de faire votre connaissance" (pleased to meet you) is never broken down by syllable. This is extremely difficult to follow while driving a car. This set feels as though it was designed to go with a book while sitting at a desk not at the wheel of a car. At the same time, it seems like it would be excellent for a review, someone who already knows all the words and how to pronounce. They do provide a small book. The words are in alphabetical order by lesson. But the words on the cd are not introduced to you in alphabetical order. That means, while driving, you are not going to find the word they are saying before they go on to the next word. This set really needs to be reworked for a beginner or it should be advertised as a review for someone already knowledgeable.
