Summary: A Former US Diplomat Says 'Real Communication, Really Fast!!
Review: I am a former US diplomat and current international business consultant. I can say that Language Dynamics courses are the only courses I know of that are truly dedicated to effective and immediate communication in the target language. Academic courses often reflect the literary interests of professors, many of whom never had the experience of learning the target language as a second language. With these courses, you can hit the streets after every lesson knowing you can say more than you could yesterday.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: Well Worth It - A True Deal
Review: I found Audio Fluency French to be another top notch language course from Language Dynamics.
My course was fully edited with no page number references.
I did receive a very useful learning guide which has helped tremendously in learning to speak and understand French.
The native speaker Céline is fantastic and the instructor was rated as excellent by his students at the University of Illinois. This course is a real value and really works.

Summary: Effective, Fast, and Easy!
Review: I found Audio Fluency French to be the most effective French course that I have yet experienced, and I have been searching and trying recorded French courses since 1972. From my observations what makes this course unique is the method that teaches you to speak so much practical French within minutes of first using the course. This course has improved my accent, increased my vocabulary, and shot my functional fluency sky high in just a few weeks. The tapes were more professional than the average with a relaxed tone which in turn helped me to relax. The learning guide REALLY helped to clarify and explain, although I didn't really need it to look up English meanings since those are all given on the tapes.

Summary: Where's the book?
Review: I got the cassettes which were OK, but in the recordings there are frequent references to a textbook such as "You are now on page six". However, the textbook was not included in the package. I e-mailed Language Dynamics asking about the textbook clearly indicating that I was willing to pay extra for the book if neccesary. I never got a reply. A lot of reviewers have said that the book is not needed. Maybe so, but I would like to see what the words look like so I would recognize them in print. Besides, it is poor service to have "You are on page six" in the recording and not provide any information on how to find the book.

Summary: Not worth it...
Review: I seriously question the quality of the tapes. I purchased my tapes, and found that there are different kind of strange noise in the recording... The courses of the tape also, I would say, pretty disorganized. Do not think that you can reach upper intermediate level of French after finishing these tapes. I think that the tapes are not as seriously made as other language learning audiocourses. For better tapes, I recommend "Learn in the car: French" series. The quality is clearly much better. It is cheaper too. If you do not care to spend lots of money, I recommend "Pimsleur" series. Pimsleur is by far the best, and it is extremely user-friendly. In a nutshell, I found many audiocourses better than "AudioFluency French".

Summary: Great basic French course!
Review: Just returned from a trip to Provence. We went to St. Remy de Provence, Arles, Setes, etc ... It was great. The greatest part of the trip was realizing how much French I could speak from using my Audio Fluency French course in the States. I was really communicating with the natives and even helping English speaking tourists. This really blows my mind that after only six short weeks with the course listening to the tapes as recommended that I could acheive such results. I would have paid thousands for a course that taught me what this one did (and does).
