French I, Basic: Learn to Speak and Understand French with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur)

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed."-- AudioFile Magazine

"EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE...each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners...Pimsleur [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use -- quite lively!"-- Boston Herald

"Learn French while commuting, German while jogging, Spanish (or Russian, Italian, and Japanese) while cooking all with NO WRITTEN MATERIALS!"-- New York Daily News

"Designed for the ear and not the eye...the lessons provide PERFECT 30-minute bites of work."-- St Louis Post-Dispatch

"Learn to habla español or parlez français before your next trip aboard. The interactive LESSONS CHALLENGE STUDENTS to use new words in conversation instead of memorize them."-- American Way (American Airlines inflight magazine)

"I tried other language programs with little success...This is the best by far!"-- Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot, International Society of Women Airline Pilots

Don't let the intro fool you, this tool needs a lot more in order to understand and speak french

3Somewhat disappointed  Mar 04, 2008
When I started listening and practicing with these CDs in my car, I was very pleased with the method. But by the time I got to the end of all the lessons I was disappointed. I expected to learn more than just how to ask someone if they want to have lunch with me, or drink something, and at what time (not even learning ALL the hours on the clock, but just four or five of them.) There's too much repetition of the same thing over and over... and over... With 5 CDs and 10 lessons total, I'm sure I could have learned a lot more. After all, if I want to go back and repeat something, I can just slip the CD into the player and go over the materials I need to review.

3There are good and bad ...  Sep 30, 2007
there are definitely strength and weaknesses about these CDs. first of all, it does not come with any written material. If you can't see how a word is spell, how can you memorize it efficiently? The syllabus is very restricted. There are you and I, but how about he, she and they? The strength is that they repeat themselves over and over again, so by the end, you've heard it enough times that it does start to stick. They do emphasize on the correct pronunciation, which is very helpful. I'd give it a 3 star at best.
