Great way to learn French. - By: Existentialist., 12 May 2008 
I love this as you can ignore the book & just lie back & learn practical French from the cd!
But the book is helpful if you need clarification about words or phrases. The tone is fun, pleasant & not annoying.

It's a long time since I did French (I had to give it up at age 14), but this brought it all back. Recommended, if you're like me or want to improve your French for an upcoming holiday.
Good stuff... - By: , 29 Aug 2002 I am doing GCSE french & coming up to the final year of my course I have, like many french students looked for a quick way to learn all that information that I previously slept through. Although not being focused on the GCSE tact this book provides useful phrases & gives you the ability to generate your own. Even though it claims not to show you grammar you quickly pick up the past & future tenses by the third & fourth weeks.
To test the book I decided to start it 6 weeks before a summer trip to france, working my way through the book I encountered everyday situations & slowly but surely got through the whole coursein just under four weeks. During that period I started constructing sentences purely of my own will which was even an amazement to myself. This boostin confidence sped up my speech & gave me a better understanding of how the french language works.
I enjoyed this book tremendously & changed my view on the whole french language.
As for the trip, it was great, I understood most that was said & could actively take partin light conversation which was once just a noise.
