"Also Good Fun..."
September 1, 2012
Reviewer:

As I visit Paris quite frequently, and have yet never managed to pick up a word of French, I decided to download this (based mostly on the recommendations of the other reviewers) and give it a try before my next visit. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a painless and fun way to learn basic conversational French. The phrases are spoken over a music track (which really helps keep your attention and the phrases in your mind) in a dialogue format and the chemistry between the speakers is engaging. What I also found useful was that the English speaker sometimes makes mistakes in pronunciation which are corrected by the French speaker and this made me feel both less worried about making mistakes and better able to hear that I was making similar mistakes in pronunciation. This is truly a fun and useful listen and I give it 5 stars up.

Hate the name, gives me the creeps, but this is really well worth the money. Very relaxing and surprisingly effective - off to Paris next month to put my new found language skills to the test. Will vol3 be published any time soon?
