Oxford Take Off in French (Take Off In...)

Summary: Quite Doable and Enjoyable as Well
Review: I have got through the first 2 of the 4 CDs (there's also an extra, 5th CD for more practice) and have really enjoyed the learning process. I find the dialogues really help me to learn how to pronounce French words and speak conversationally as real people do. They throw a lot of new words and grammar at you in the form of 2 or 3 person dialogues, rather than leading you through in a more traditional, words by word, sentence by sentence manner. I have enjoyed this, because it really does get one started speaking quickly. I have been practicing with a friend that studied French in college, and they are quite amazed at my progress.

The proof was going to Paris last month for work. Even though I was still very much a beginner, I found that my learned pronunciation was quite good - almost too good because people started speaking to me in French! I would love a follow-on course so that I could learn more advanced and longer material.
