With these Audio CDs you will work on natural conversations with our unique Active Sensory ComprehensionTM method. You will learn your new language both effectively and efficiently. You will develop your listening skills. For reference, we give you a booklet with the transcripts and the translations, with our color-coding system to help you pronounce the words and sentences the way you will hear them pronounced in real life conversations. This step by step approach to the language will help you understand French, like no other method, early in your studies. If you enter a conversation in French without any training to listen to it, you will not be able to get what is coming back to you. On the other hand, even if you feel hesitant to speak French, you can have a conversation saying yes or no , as long as you understand the other person. With these CDs you will start to understand and speak the language as spoken in the real world. If you are a true beginner, you might want to complement your work with our SmartFrench, Introduction to French, Vol.1 and SmartFrench, Introduction to French, Vol.2 in order to work on the basic vocabulary, conjugation and grammar. Learning French requests that you learn to speak French and that you learn to understand it. Vol.1 and Vol.2 will teach you to speak and these CDs will teach you to understand and be understood as you will develop strong listening skills. The best is to practice both exercises simultaneously. In addition, if what you want to know is just a few sentences to get by for your next trip to France, you need our SmartFrench for Travelers book.
We hope you will enjoy learning French with SmartFrench.

Customer Rating:
Summary: I enjoyed to learn French from real conversations
Comment: This is a unique and innovative way to learn how to listen to the spoken French just as it is used in real conversations. Most audio programs, you have someone reading a script in French. The sounds are quite different when someone is talking French compared to someone who is reading French. That is why Smart French is better than anything else I have tried so far. My confidence in speaking French has improved tremendously.

Summary: Quick and Easy
Comment: This was quick and easy. I actually bought this to help my children with audible French. The listen to it repeatedly.

Summary: the lost bean
Comment: I found The Smart French series volumes 1 and 2 a very effective way to study French. They easily teach the useful words that you hear in everyday conversation. They do this in with a minimum amount of time spent vs words you learn. I think the most helpful aspect of this series for me is that it plays the words as they sound in a real environment. A number of other courses I have purchased in the past seem to be built around words and phrases that you will probably never hear, and are unlikely to use (unless you need to buy a bowler hat.) I would recommend these products.

Summary: Oui tres smart!
Comment: We are Americans that just moved to Paris, and SmartFrench was critical in us quickly learning French to be prepared to live here. The emphasis on real world communication was so valuable. "Street" pronunciations not "formal", immediate conversational learning, the emphasis on immediate usability, all these elements accelerated our learning curve. We find ourselves more functional in Paris than we would have with other learning systems. Thank you SmartFrench!!!! :)

Summary: Good way to start French lessons
Comment: While I have enjoyed listening and trying to learn from these audio cd's, I do feel that personal lessons are inevitable. Christian speaks really fast on some of these and makes it very difficult to try to repeat at times. I get a little frustrated and turn it off, ha! He is good though and very nice to listen to.
