to learn french Free helpful Fact

We bought this video after previously watching and enjoying the French volume 1 from the same company. My 3-year old daughter loves this one even more! The production quality and animation has improved and the songs are even better. In fact, my daughter wants to hear the songs again and again. She also enjoys the “quizzes” at the end of each lesson. The actors, who are older versions of the same kids in the first video, are very cute and charming. My daughter loves to see other kids speak French and it encourages her to speak it as well. The level of the video is fine for my daughter who recently enrolled in a French pre-school.

A bit cheesy..but aren’t all language videos? It has a proper amount of pacing so that the language is easy to pick up. Easy to watch multiple times (well, loads easier than watching BARNEY videos anyway).

39 minutes for 6 segments. once you figure in transitions that is 5 minutes per segment. And the segments are pretty thin. A bit of info on substitutions. The tabs book is VERY thin and very little of the video is transcribed. Try Jimmy Bruno’s No Nonsense Jazz Guitar it has a fat tabs book, is way longer, and it fits together instead of just throwing parts of several videos together like this piece of trash.
Over all a RIP OFF

Pimsleur language programs are really good, and Conversational French is no different. This is an easy way (with repeated listenings) to learn a bit of another language. It won’t make you fluent, but it will give you a familiarity with a language, its vocabulary and pronunciation, that will give you some confidence in using it.

This is the first French language product that has been an effective tool for me to actually learn French. I’ve taken local classes, used Rosetta Stone, and purchased Smart French audio CDS. Yes…I am an old dog and its very hard for me to learn new tricks. Pimsleur was effective because of the reviews that occur throughout the audio set. You just don’t memorize it one time and then never hear it again. The next session builds on the previous session with a some “new material” and by the end you’ve built a “small” but effective vocabulary. I also learned specific language rules that were omitted or assumed common knowledge in my French class. I understand that other users may want a written book or guide. However, I’ve found that with French, it is better NOT to know how the word is spelled because it doesn’t sound anything like the way it’s spelled. It’s definitely better to learn the correct pronounciation FIRST. I highly recommend this audio series. It was much more effective than the Smart French Audio CDs.

I took three years of French in high school over twenty years ago, and I recently decided to take up the language once again. I have tried various programs, such as Rosetta Stone, Michel Thomas, and Pimsleur. However, when I tried to have a conversation with native French speakers, I was always disappointed because a) When they spoke at a natural pace, other than picking out a word here and there, I could not understand what they were saying and b) While I could make myself understood, I was told that my sentences were too rigid or unnaturally formal.

As far as I know, Smart French is the only program available that teaches the student to speak in a natural and fluent manner. The program begins with an excellent review of French sounds. Then, a series of vignettes are presented in which an interviewer discusses a topic with everyday French speakers such as a model, a chef, an art curator, a metal worker, an actor, etc. The converstations are presented in stages. The first stage, breaks down the sentences into bite sized segments in slow motion. The ensuing stages move progressively faster, until the sixth stage, when we hear the actual interview at normal speed. At first the converstions seemed impossibly fast, but after listening to them a few times, I began to understand more and more of what the speakers were saying.

The Smart French course has helped me tremendously in developing an ear for French as it is spoken by real people and in improving my accent. In my opinion, it is by far the best program available, and the best value for the money.

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!

Very few people are able to realise a great product. It needs awareness, imagination, creativity and talent. I think that Christian Aubert has created a unique method to learn french and re-learn it. I found the “reds and liaisons” invaluable. It is not so easy to re-learn and reprogramme oneself or to recover words quickly at a certain age and yet I found the SmartFrench CD-ROM 1 and cds wonderful for that very purpose. Some of the interviews were engrossing and others I found amusing. They made things so quick to get back to – using ones ears, listening and learning.

Don’t waste your money. This is boring, repetitive (in a bad way) and slow. Try a Standard Deviants language dvd instead, I got both and SD rocks and is fun to learn from.

And please, for the love of Fucking God, don’t add French articles to the front of random nouns.
