Editorial Review:
The new edition of this intensive language-immersion course has been updated with new references, and up-to-date vocabulary and idioms. The program package consists of a textbook and a set of 12 compact discs. This comprehensive language program is the same as the one used by the U.S. Government to teach French to personnel in the diplomatic service and other internationally related government agencies. Students who complete the course successfully will have much more than a few foreign phrases at their disposal, but will possess a solid understanding of a new language. The program is ideal for classroom instruction but is also designed so that serious individuals who want to become fluent in French can teach themselves. This course teaches every aspect of the language: vocabulary, grammar, conversing, reading, writing, and listening comprehension.

Rating:  - Dreadful. Not at all for the beginner.
I've taken French in the past, and decided I'd like to learn it well enough to be fluent. I'd looked at many language learning products and thought that this one might be a good compromise between price and the full bells and whistles of, say, the Rosetta Stone software.
I'm deeply disappointed.
The very first set of tracks is a conversation in rapid, slightly slurred French (particularly on the part of the male speaker). The listener is told, after the first hearing, to ... Read More
Rating:  - BEWARE if you want to listen to the audio on your ipod
This is a good quality product that is a little behind the times. When you import the CD's to your itunes account, the descriptions and numbering are not consistent from CD to CD. For example on Disc 1, the tracks are numbered 0101, 0102, etc., which is great. However, on Disc 7 they are just numbered "Track 1" w/no indication which disc, nor is the "author" or "title" noted in the applicable columns. This makes it VERY hard to find the disc, much less the track you want to listen to for some discs. ... Read More
Rating:  - Good, but not for total beginners
This is just part of the FSI (Foreign Service Institute) program, repackaged under the Barrons name. This program is probably best after some exposure to the French language - from Pimsleur or Michel Thomas for example. The audio quality isn't the best, since the tapes were originally recorded in the 60's, but I don't see this as a problem, since you'll have to get used to real prople who do not always speak clearly. I wouldn't pay much for this though, since the whole course is in the public domain and ... Read More
Rating: - Definetly teaches something
I finished this book in just three weeks, but I remember every word that was taught in the course. I feel right now that the words I learned will never leave my mind.
Just about three weeks ago, before using this book, I knew nearly no french (just "bonjour", "merci", and "bon voyage"), not did I know how to pronounce the language. After finishing the book however, I could say many basic sentences, more than most of my classmates could after taking 2 years of french.
Here are ... Read More
Rating: - Not for me...
This product isn't helping me learn French. It's kind of boring and repetative. I'll still be looking for another (better) product.
