French For Dummies Audio Set 1st Edition

For my recent trip to Paris 5/2023. I learn so many key words that helps my visit in France 🇫🇷.FYI - please get this CD months to a year before you leave for your trip.Hope this helpsEnjoy 😉

I truly enjoyed listening to this set. I just started disk 1 but I already like it very much. I can see I am going to learn a lot. The English speaking lady is well spoken, she has a very nice and relaxed way about her. She explains the words well and then the French speaking man repeats them twice slowly. He is easy to understand and seems to enjoy translating words. They don't sound stupid or phoney. They don't rush through any of the lessons and the phrases they go over seem to actually be useful. This CD set got me excited about learning French and trying out what I learned on everyone at work. The CD doesn't go into details of the French language or why certain words are translated the way they are, it simply gives you a good range of phrases, questions, commonly used words, and topics to help you learn. I don't know if this is going to do me any good in France, but I can't wait to see. I'll probably get laughed at, but hey...I'll be in FRANCE!

Good for beginners. The package was arrived in good condition. It includes most of the essentials that beginners need to learn.The booklet is tiny and small, you can keep it inside your handbag and do the study in everywhere and anytime. Highly recommend.

I guess you have to start somewhere. But you won't learn much with these CDs. The positive is that it comes with a little booklet so that you can read what is being said.

For me, this is perfect. I'm trying to learn just enough French to cope in Montreal. I took French in school, but never really learned to hear and speak it. But I remember enough to read a fair amount, so listening to the audio with its exaggerated pronunciation and tips pulls a lot up from the depths of my memory. I've also loaded some other easy French CD's into my car player, so using Dummies along with some of these is perfect for my purposes. I'm way past studying and am not aiming to become fluent, just able to catch snatches and communicate at a basic level.

Easy to understand tutorial.

I think the product is Great! But only for those who have already have some sort of background with the French Language. Or if you are using this product in supplement to another book. I like how they repeat every word or phrase twice! It really helps, other products only repeat once and I have to constantly rewind or replay. I am starting to remember a lot of the vocab again.I do have to complain about one of the voices, he reads the phrases rather than speak fluidly (for example: "see!..you!...next!...Week!" instead of "see you next week"). I love hands-on learning (in other words tests at end of lessons to see if you remember) and this book doesn't have that. Basically this product is a little pocket book with 3 CDs.I bought this product in preparation for my trip to Paris in a couple of months! I am delighted that this product is helping me be able to connect/communicate with the people there.

I have a small summer business and a number of my customers are French Canadian. I finally decided to try and learn enough 'shop keepers' French as a courtesy to them. This may not be exactly what I need, but it's giving me confidence. Perhaps an old dog can be taught a new trick!
