We actually checked this DVD out from the library, & I’m so glad that I was able to try it out before buying. My children really didn’t like the video, and the speakers spoke so fast that they quickly lost interest. The production quality & sound quality were poor to say the least, which is my main concern. I think there are definitely better DVD’s out there if you are a parent, who may not know French, but want to learn with their children. I really can’t recommend this DVD as the quality was so poor.

I had to learn french for professional reasons, and surfed the web looking for self-teaching software. Fluenz french was the best product I found. I liked the pace at which it proceeds, I like the simulation of classroom instruction, and I like the structure of the drills. I found it a bit slow at first, but now that I am into it, I’m starting to get a grasp on the structure of french.

I should say, too, that the software is very well organized, and very easy to use. When I had a problem at one point, the user support group was very responsive and very helpful.

This is my first choice for a self-teaching language program. I am starting to supplement it with reading, in particular the easy french reader, and am thinking of doing something else to add to my vocabulary, but this is my core program.[keyword]i+want+to+learn+french[/keyword][yahooquestion]i+want+to+learn+french[/yahooquestion]

Blizzard is a great movie for family viewing. It’s good for learning to take responsibility for what you do and facing the consequences. Plus, it’s a good story. We all enjoyed it very much.[keyword]learn+french+summer[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+french+summer[/yahooquestion]

It pains me to give Rosetta a 2/5 star rating, but, I think it is justified. They obviously put a huge amount of effort into this product, and it shows. However, I do not agree with their essential assumptions regarding language learning are accurate. Rosetta is all about total immersion, teaching you a language through total immersion in that language, (in their view) simulating how your learned your native tongue as a child. This paradigm manifests itself in a key difference than how other language tools work – Rosetta is 100% in its target language (here French). Rosetta tries to teach you language concepts by giving you a limited number of learning concepts (say, for exe, vocab), and then requiring you to apply it to a given situation. For example, if its teaching you 4 words, you’ll be presented with a screen of 4 images, each of which corresponds to one of the words, and you have to match word to image. So for learning vocab, its outstanding. However, the major failure is on grammar and usage. The same principle applies – it will present a grammatical construct, and use image mapping to teach you. The problem really arises on nuanced principles. When the verb is “to be”, its easy to learn “he is…” vs “she is…” by looking at an image of a man vs woman doing something. If you take a harder construct, for example, how to form questions, it becomes very difficult for a set of images to accurately convey the real meaning. For example, asking a yes/no question involves “est-ce que….”; asking a “what” question involves “qu’est’ce que…”; I found that the images could not effectively help me understand the difference between these two constructs. The same applies to many other types of usage, such as the when to use il/elle est vs c’est. Bottom line is that you lose a comprehensive understanding of what you’re learning.

In contrast, I have a lot of formal language training in Latin and Japanese. In both situations, you learn basics (e.g., verb conjugation), then apply them to situations. I think one of the problems with Rosetta is the paradigm – they assume that you can learn a language as an adult in the same way you learned as a child. I disagree. As a child, you have no learning framework yet, other than osmosis and mimicry. As you go through school, you learn learning structure and learn to hold information in a structured way in your brain. Rosetta doesn’t do that.

In contrast, I just found the product Fluenz and absolutely love it. It inverts the paradigm and teaches French by relating it to what we know in English with good, highly detailed explanations of what and why.

This is a very a good book for starting learn French. However, be aware if you are thinking about buying the Audio and Listening & Comprehension CDs. They cost around U$ 70.00 together, but you can have their contents for free at the book website. Just google “deux monde mcgraw-hill” and hit “I’m feeling luck”.

You can listen to (or download) the audio of all lessons, and also do some extra exercises in this website.[keyword]learning+french+language+online[/keyword][yahooquestion]learning+french+language+online[/yahooquestion]

My review makes reference to the French language section ( I have not used the other ones)

I have a 7 year old, who enjoys this software a lot. I love that the sound quality is very good, and the pronuncioation is perfect. There is plenty of vocabulary to practice. I think this is a really good complement to any language program.

I believe that both,beginners and more advanced students 6-10 would enjoy and benefit from it.

Featured vocabulary: numbers, colors, animals, days, months, weather, means of transportations, clothing, and more.

Easy to use. [keyword]learn+french+conversation[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+french+conversation[/yahooquestion]

I found this French learning audio CD to be on the pathetic side mainly because the French speaker repeats the French very slowly, which is not going to help you understand a native speaker who is speaking at a normal pace. You don’t realize just how quickly people speak until you are trying to learn a language and you visit a place where that language is spoken. I would get another CD set if you want to learn French.[keyword]learn+french+pronunciation[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+french+pronunciation[/yahooquestion]

this is a well thought out language book. I found the pronounciations particularly helpful, and it is laid out really well (designed well) and the grammar is concise and easy to follow. I found this book a very beneficial part of my library of ‘learning french’ books. It’s one of my favourites. [keyword]learn+simple+french[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+simple+french[/yahooquestion]

purchased this to spruce up my pronunciation but found that this version doesn’t work with Windows 2000; however, I’ve now ordered version 8.1 which, supposedly, does work on my platform and will write another review after I’ve received and tried it.[keyword]learn+to+speak+french+software[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+to+speak+french+software[/yahooquestion]
