Summary: Good supplementary resource
Review: The strength of this program is that it teaches you a lot of vocabularies as well their pronounciations. It also teaches you some common French expressions.The weakness of this program is that the learning is pretty dry. You go through about 360 words per one side (45 mins) of the 90 minutes tape, one after another. The words are divided into sections. In the French/English section, a French word is introduced before its English equivalent and vice versa in the English/French section. I didn't find this format very useful. The background music is also too loud and it sometimes make it difficult to hear what the French speaker is pronouncing. Because it throws at you with so many words, the only way to learn them is simply by repetition (to listen to the tapes over and over again until the words are beginning to get stuck in your memory). However, I did start to remember them after a while. This program should supplement your other French learning programs. The words will only become meaningful if you learn how they are used via reading books, watching television programs, and speaking to others.
