Most of the self teaching material out there is books.
This one has no book, as said by another reviewer.
This is a good way to supplement your beginning French reading material with something that has audio.
As with learning any language or skill, there is no "one product" that does it all.
If you need a beginner level audio program to go with your beginning French reading material, this is a good selection.
An easy way to get your French off the ground.
This is for beginners, it is not for those who already have a solid grasp on French.
Ok, but not as good as others I've used June 23, 2005

Bought this to brush up on my French, which I haven't used for 15 yrs before a trip this fall. Is very good on pronunciations, but can be confusing. Goes through the French saying before translating in English. It seems backwards to me, but otherwise is a good product.
 this fills a gap October 21, 2004

I liked this package for what it is. Good practice in comprehension. The first CD really does a good job of teaching pronunciation. It goes through vowels, consonants, and combinations. Lots of examples are given. Then, the course goes through all basic vocabulary: numbers, days of the week, weather... You get to listen to conversations and then answer questions about what you understood. I think there is much gained when you are unable to cheat by reading a conversation on a page. This package works especially well for people already familiar with French and those who have a french text lacking an audio component.
There is no book. Great as a refresher. April 4, 2004

I am writing this review as someone who could already get by in French and has been fluent in Italian for many years. As I listen to these 8 CD's, I am surprising myself at how much French I've picked up and retained through the years (like "Le cheval est mort.") So it's a great refresher course. I'm not sure how much I would get out of these CD's if I didn't already have some knowledge of French. Notice that I didn't say "book", because... there is no book. With these CD's, you may become conversant, but you won't be able to read anything in French or be able to pronounce it. But if ALL you want to do is speak & understand when spoken to, not being weighed down by trying to spell things in your head may be a good thing.
