Good Value…Fun!,
This is another very reasonably priced language entry from Berlitz. It’s just one CD. You can print the script from their website, but it’s not necessary because the material is repeated clearly throughout the hour-long program. The strategy here is to set the key phrases to music over a sketchy narrative. It’s like listening to a loony musical. You will find yourself singing the phrases and some will loop through your mind. Good idea. I have a little difficulty with the promise on the CD box: “Learn a new language in just one hour”. Hardly. However, beginning students will hve fun learning some useful words and phrases.

|Fine if you use a book or another CD…,
While I have a few gripes about this CD–it’s too short, not enough of the basics, and while the date idea may be cute, it’s not the only scenario you’ll face while traveling :). The music was way too cutesy for me…
*However*, I did find that it’s an inexpensive way to get back into speaking French. I did go to Paris after listening to this and was able to use some basic phrases. The music I found cheesy was probably a good way to memorize some of these phrases.
All in all, not a bad way to begin, but if you want to be able to count above 10 or ask more questions than name and where are you from, then you’ll need another CD.

|Fell in love with the woman’s voice – talking and singing,
Although I have been studying french for many years, I can only impress people who do not know french, and when I am in france I can get any of its citizens to speak impecable english – after only 2 of my french sentences.
Now that we know I am not the one to ask for advice …
This is a great tool – especially for singular, plural, masculine, feminine and basic communication opposites – all delivered enjoyably.
I bought the $10.00 single CD and within two weeks I ordered the 3 CD version with the book which includes the transcript – for only about $8.00 more and I am pleased I did – so the 5 stars apply to it also.
This has been more fun than any of my CD’s and when I wake up early and cannot sleep I play and listen and learn – especially pronunciation.
C’est tout
