Summary: Some Good Info IF you can get past extremely corny format!
Review: I really had to listen to both discs about 4 times to get over the irritating corny songs/delivery. There is some good info in there, but the songs drove me NUTS! I've purchased numerous language tapes/books, etc., and I think the most useful are:
1. Berlitz Basic French (2831557194)...it's ALL in French (no english), but somehow it really sinks in.
2. Learn in Your Car Series, Level 1 & 2-these more for basic vocab.
I'm fluent in another language (spanish) and learn languages fairly quickly if that helps.

Summary: Worse than no help at all!
Review: Several family members gave this CD set an honest try. One family member had high school French, the others no previous French experience.This was a terrible way to prepare for a trip to France. The dialog goes by too quickly. The speakers mumble much of the dialog. They don't demonstrate the masculine and feminine nouns forms a bit. Far more time is spent on corny songs than on helping the listener learn a foreign language. It is more effective to study pantomime.

Summary: Ables one to learn quickly
Review: This was a great program to begin with. After the first "show" I wanted to hurt myself and get my money back. I was irritated by the songs and how quickly the program passed over words and left me feeling stupid for not catching everything. I repeated the lessons and the songs gradually got stuck in my mind and I found myself actually getting basic words and phrases. The french on the tape seem alot friendlier than ones Ive met, so hopefully the Jacquelines of France are that nice and patient for when I arrive...
