Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's an okay program if you already know some French
Review: I am an intermediate level French speaker. Therefore, I found these lesson to be basically a boring review. CD 1 was for beginners (BORING! but NOT sufficient on its own to improve your knowledge.). CD 2 was an advanced beginner / intermediate level CD; all in French. CD 3 was kinda like CD 2 only originally done by different people. CD 4 was the interactive picture dictionary which seemed to be a waste of a CD. A French-English dictionary is much more complete. Finally, CD 5 was "Who is Oscar Lake." A game that I found lame and irritating because I kept having the same ending. The exercises on this CD were also ok, but easy for me. In conclusion, this software was an ok diversion but you WILL not be able to learn French from scratch with it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: pretty good; requires some self-motivation
Review: if you're serious about wanting to learn a language, this is good starter stuff to learn how to speak. but it's not going to grab your hand and make you use it, and it's not as engaging as, say, grand theft auto vice city. (the "game" cd, oscar lake, is pretty lame.)

i own this and enjoy it, but i wouldn't recommend it for the casual student. i've taken real french classes and am not sure i'd recommend this to someone brand new to the langauge. bonne chance!

Summary: Did not learn much
Review: Instant Immersion French is poor when it comes to teaching you French. I was just unable to learn from this program unlike some other programs which have helped me. Beware this product, I would consider a different company's product over this one. I have also tried French Now by Transparent Language and found that it taught me French quite well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worthless
Review: It should have got 0 rating. You could buy a English-French dictionary instead of buying this. This does not 'teach' you anything. Do not spend your heard earned money on this

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Really should be zero stars
Review: This product is really a disappointment. There are no menus and no lessons one, two, etc. On CD 1 you learn some basic words and then on CD 2 there is nothing but French. The other CDs are not much more help. I bought this program to learn French and now I'm considering not wasting my time, trashing it and starting again.
