Comments about French, Conversational:
I am using the product to be more conversationally capable when I go on vacation in France.
The product is easy to follow and I feel real comfortable with the results and confidence with the new learned language experience.
Downloading the several CDs presented a real lesson sequencing challenge when loading them to my IPod and then being able to move from one lesson to the next

Comments about French, Conversational:
I pop the CD in during my drive to work every day (my drive is 35 - 40 min)
so this works great. We have traveled quite a bit and have always tried to learn
the language. These are the first tapes that really helped us learn.

Comments about French, Conversational:
I listen to the language course in the car or during quite time from my IPhone. Just the right speed for me and the repetitive nature helps me fine tune my pronounciations plus helps me remember previous lessons. Very happy with this beginner course!

Comments about French, Conversational:
This was recommended to me by someone in a french class I took over the summer; she was pretty good with the language. I listen to it in the car, and am planning on loading it to my Ipod. I just recommended it today to another student in my current class. It makes sense to hear the language, rather than watch a computer to learn it. I have and will recommend it.
