Summary: Didn't work
Review: ..sent me version 8.01. It wouldn't run on my machine with Windows Me. I called their tech support and was told to send it back to the company and ask for version 8.0. I did that and received a check for the purchase price... So what I got was the frustration and aggravation of a program that won't work, and I am out the shipping charges both ways.

Summary: Good luck trying to install this package
Review: After 20+ tries to install it I gave up. Not only could I not get this to install but I couldn't even uninstall it. The website was no help at all. This was on Windows 98.

Summary: NOT Compatible with Windows 2000
Review: Although it says on the top that the software is compatible with 95 or 98, don't think that it will work on 2000.
I even called in their support line for possible upgrades and they have nada.
This is a not review but just a friendly warning!

Summary: Unorganized learning process
Review: Although the software is extensive, with a workbook and audio tape, I found the organization of the program difficult. As a beginner in French, I thought that I would be able to learn more than I was able to from this program. In the first 2 weeks, I went through the program, listened to the tape in my car, and attempted to go through the workbook. What I found to be lacking was the fact that it focuses on vocabulary words and phrases before teaching the grammar and logic to the language. For those of you who want an actual understanding of French past a few vocab words, I suggest you look somewhere else. The tape was also hard to understand, even at the very beginning. The speakers talked too fast, so it made it hard for me to repeat after them since I was trying to figure out what they'd said exactly. Overall, it is a nice presentation, but I'd hoped to gain an overall understanding of the language, not just how to say, "I'm fine, thank you."

Summary: Terrible Technical Support
Review: As everyone else has noted, this program does not actually work, which makes it difficult to learn French. The only reason I am adding to the list of negative reviews is to follow through on a promise to The Learning Company's technical support department. Not only did they fail to get the program running, it took them over two weeks of correspondence to reach the conclusion that my problem was purchasing the non-functional version 8.0.1, despite the fact that I noted the version number in my original complaint. Every person I interacted with was lacking in both technical knowledge and basic customer support skills. Do not purchase this program, and I would avoid other Learning Company products as well.

Summary: Not a bad product, for its price.
Review: Bonjour!!!I think that the price offered in this online store is fair. It includes pretty much everything you could ever need to get started. Within the first three months of using it I began to feel more comfortable, and I could hold small comversation with French people. Au revoir.

Summary: WARNING WINDOWS ME USERS
Review: Don't buy this software if you run Windows ME. The version they are currently shipping is 8.01 -- this version will not work on Windows Me and The Learning Company's technical support has no way to fix it yet. Be careful because the box is labeled version 8.0 but the actual CDs are labeled 8.01. I wish it did run because it looks like a great program I reccomend it to those with compatible computers.

Summary: Great product
Review: I agree with a previous review that software can never take the place of an interactive class or spending time in a French speaking country, but this product comes as close as possible. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to ramp up on my vocabulary and comprehension. This is a great package especially if you are new to the language. The only negatives: First, I would rather it forced you to come up with the French words/phrases more. Too often it prompts with the French and asks for the English. Second, the dog in the game gets annoying reallly fast.
