Bob T Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yes we found it very good. I have all 8 CDs on one MP3 CD for the car and we have it on all the PCs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yes, it's very good indeed for basic conversational French. It doesn't go far into grammar, verbs, tenses, genders and so on, but it could be argued that at the level at which it is aimed it doesn't need to.

Chief Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Found it very good, but not sure if i would have done so without prior learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Mr Clair has them and if he takes them in the car, I drive... [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I used them whilst in the UK and listened every day on the way to work for about half an hour. I found them very good, however, when I started having French lessons here in France from a French lady who teaches English, she did point out some errors. Some of the language I was using although correct is not normal everyday use for French people and although I would be understood the French would find my way of speaking rather amusing !!!

benedicte Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yes they are very good for getting your conversational French started, highly recommended :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradford Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ditto,Good luck. If you haven't bought one yet, don't forget ebay, there are quite a few for sale on CD. You might find some cheap ones as I believe it was a promotional offer in some newspapers.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babbles Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The are the best! Have tried linguphone "all talk" (the best of the others) , a private tutor even trying to remember what I learn't at school with not much success the combination of Michel Thomas and watch french TV on TV5 on sky has made all the difference, I have mild dislexia so not having to read and writing while your learning gave me confidence to actually speak and not get hung up about the spelling , that can come latter moh is confident in reading but struggles with conversation and MT has really helped, the foundation course was given away by the Express last year so you might find a cheap set somewhere (ebay?)[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik from LA Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I agree the 8 CD set is good. The two CD language builder is more useful. The 4 CD advanced set is best and does cover tenses. EBay is a good source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
