Most people learn to speak french but not how to speak it. At the intermediate level, they still have difficulties to understand the language and they cannot be understood. These Audio CDs will develop your listening skills at the same time as you progress in your learning. If these CDs are too difficult for you, you need the Beginner level. Maybe you are an intermediate at speaking french but still a beginner at listening to it. If you still need basic tips, you might want to try our SmartFrench, Introduction to French course. And if you just want to say travel sentences, you can use our SmartFrench for Travelers book and downloads. With this program you will understand French and you will be understood. It's the best choice you can make to achieve fluency fast.

Summary: Excellent course for grown ups
Comment: This course offers interviews with persons from a variety of backgrounds, and thus a variety of vocabularies and speaking styles. You are led slowly through the interviews first, a bit at a time, and also have the typescript of the whole thing. Finally, the interview is recorded at its normal speed.
By listening to the recording a few times, one is prepared for the "real speed" version. My friends and I gained a good bit in confidence from lesson to lesson. Our only regret was that there weren't more interviews. We need a follow up course; a "son of fluent French."

Summary: This is a great product
Comment: The ONLY way to learn a language is to absorb it...listen, immerse oneself, and, eventually, jump in and start speaking. It is NOT to learn grammar from a book. Grammar should be the last car on the train. I know this from years of living in French-speaking countries, and how I learned French. This is a great product because it has real French conversations spoken the way real people speak...running words together, dropping endings of words, etc etc. Using this in one's car would be very helpful for developing an ear for French and becoming comfortable with the language. The CD-ROM is even better because it has the videos of the speakers, with facial expressions, hand gestures, etc, it has beginning to advanced, and a person can watch, read, translate, jump around, etc to suit their own learning style. I think SmartFrench is probably the best product available out there for actually learning how to speak the language.

Summary: Wonderful French method
Comment: This method made learning French much easier for me. I started using them on my own at first and then got so interested in learning the language that I found myself a teacher. But even taking some classes - I still use the method because it is so helpful to help my comprehension level and conversation skills. Highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent way to tune your French
Comment: If you already had some French previously, and like to brush up on speaking/listening skills, this is an excellent addition. The program uses snapshots (with common daily vocabulary) of real life interviews with French people to tune up your listening as well as speaking skills. The lessons starts with going slowly, reading the written text, and ends with the normal speed of French people speaking. Practice in your car for a couple of weeks, and you'll be amazed how much your pronunciation improves.
The accompany text is just the translation of the interviews. At this level, you should have a solid background of French vocabulary and grammar, and probably don't need a detail text on the translation, except for looking up a word here and there. We're really happy that we found this excellent tool. Have fun!

Summary: Amazing, efficient and fun
Comment: I tried a lot of material before, but all I was looking for was good tight nicely designed, organized and natural dialogs, with different degree of complexity and good vocabulary. Up to date course. This information isn't just thrown at you, but is being guided through, by the author who created this courses. You feel more like you are in the classrom and he is tutoring you, this is so valuable when you are trying to learn it fast with our our speedy needs. The name speaks for itself. Smart person's choice definitely!
Thanks a lot Christian!
