I had only 6 weeks of instruction in a junior college level French class prior to purchasing this CD. Listening to these on my way to work allowed me to order in restaurants, ask for directions, purchase stamps, and greet people. It absolutely enhanced my travel to France and certainly impressed the mister. If you've never had an introduction to French this may not be for you as it teaches useful everyday phrases such as "Excuse me officer, where is the train station" and "A glass of red wine, please" instead of "The cat drinks milk."
I've listened to about 7 languages on many different recordings over the years, and I wish all the languages were avail in this kind of recording. My sister says she has this On the Go series for 3 diff. languages.Instead of boring, tedious reading of words or verb formations, French On the Go has clever dialogues of people doing interesting things (like the eccentric French matron directing her interior designer to redecorate her Paris apartment). Barron's makes it fun.Some other language recordings either speak too fast, or do not enunciate, or even give the foreign language before the English translation, (so you don't know what they just said).This one comes with a booklet which has all the recordings for visual learners (which includes me)Now that I've pretty much mastered this one, I wish there was a French On the Go intermediate level.
The 3 CDs were helpful in listening to French accents and conversation. Also the written booklet that accompanied the CDs made the lessons much easier to follow. I wish the CDs had more phrases to learn and practice in French maybe in addition to conversational French. All in all, I found it beneficial after much repetitive listening.
Basic French lessons by listening to audio. The booklet is adequate and it appears that the program fits our need for traveling to France. Well priced.
