Summary: This product makes French fun and easy to learn
Review: After my husband has purchased a copy of Instant Immersion Spanish, I liked the program so much that I decided to purchase the French version for myself. I found the interactive way of learning really effective and interesting. You can't beat the value, either ($19.99 versus similar products at $40 range). This product is ideal for leisure learners. In fact, my baby has enjoyed learning French with me too. I also plan to purchase the Japanese version in the near future.

Summary: What?
Review: I bought this about 3 months ago and am now writing a review. I feel that when you purchase language learning software, it should be concise, easy, and basically in order. Is anyone feeling me on this? I got bored through 2 lessons and unfortunately couldn't return the item because, yes ladies and gentlemen I had already opened it. Boo Hoo! So please, any first time buyers; don't make the same mistake I did. Read the reviews and use common sense.

Summary: Worst software ever
Review: I would give this program three stars if the intent was JUST to have a reference. If you had a handle on French and just needed something to go to to reinforce your language skills. As for beginners, this program is a waste of money.

Summary: Not Great
Review: Not a total waste of money, but not a lot of value either. Some decent basic vocabulary, and the say it/play it helped me improve my pronunciation. But no help at all in figuring out how to actually speak sentences in French. The sentence/phrase examples are strictly memorization.. not useful. And I could never understand enough to use the 2nd CD at all. I didn't find the Dictionary or French Tour CDs useful either. The Michel Thomas CD course has been much more productive.

Summary: I woud give it 4.5 stars if I could
Review: Ok, I dont see why everone hates this program. Sure, the software isn't GREAT, but maybe in just not that pickey. I am taking French 1 in school, and this is a great program to go along with, there are vocab games, and you can here yourself speak. I would not use this if you are not taking a class along with it. If you are looking for something to go ALONG WITH your teachers teaching, like I was, this program does pretty well. I think that I am memorizing the words a little better, and when I here my play-back from the microphone, I can thell if I am pernounsing it right. *Also, my French teacher recomended Triple Play Plus French, but my dad couldnt find it, and this was on sale at Costco. Hope this was helpfull :)OK I wrote that about 3 months ago, and I want to totally change my opinion by editing my review. After "passing" level 1, level 2 jump up way too much and I couldnt even understand half of it. It breaks down almost eveyday, it doesnt work with Windows XP, you can't have any other programs running at the same time, and overall its not any helpfull anymore.

Summary: What the hell is this ???
Review: The worst thing I've ever bought in my life. How much French could you learn from it ? I've just learnt French for about 8 weeks in a course in uni, about 1/4 of a beginner French textbook and I found that the the 2 CDs "Talk Now" and "World Talk" have almost nothing new to learn from. And what about the "talking dictionary" ? The only thing it can talk is ENGLISH, not French ? Why do I need a dictionary which talks English when I'm learning French. And there is no mention about it on the cover. Can I call it cheating ??? The "Voyage in France" is interesting but it is in English and I can't learn any French from it. If you're planning to travel to France, it is helpful but not if you want to learn French. Conclusion : just a waste of money.

Summary: Worthless!
Review: This has got to be the most worthless CD-ROM ever made. It's incoherent, disorganized, and the discs have no continuity whatsoever. Don't waste your money on it. It won't teach you much.

Summary: Worst software ever
Review: This must be one of the worst purchases I have ever made. First, it came with no installation instructions, and the program froze all the time. Even when it was working, there was nothing to learn, other than colors and French translations for objects. How anyone could learn a language from this is beyond me, I definitely could not. If you can, more power to you.
