Summary: Great continuing course
Review: Finally a tape that teaches French without constantly lurching into English and breaking the French rhythm. Each scene is introduced briefly in English, orienting the listener to the scene just as you'd be oriented if you were there ("Father & son are loading the car for a fishing trip..."). Then you hear the dialogue in French three times: fast (identify the trouble spots), slow (figure out the trouble spots),fast (understand the whole thing). It's the way you'd learn if you lived in France and didn't hear any English. The conversations are funny, full of French wit, and the situations have enough tension to hold your interest. Some of the speakers use slang and/or have slight regional accents. I wish there were more tapes like this.

Summary: I really like these tapes
Review: I have other french tapes but have found the phrases to be too specific for daily use (ie Where can I go windsurfing?) and geared primarily to the tourist as opposed to someone who wants to study the language itself. These tapes are much more informative from a grammar perspective.

Summary: Great tape/cd series
Review: I have tried many different french learning CDs and tapes. I really like this series because it repeats all the phrases twice giving you plenty of time in between to answer questions and repeat phrases. Some of the other tapes (such as Living Language all audio) do not repeat the phrases and don't leave the listener enough time to fully participate.

Summary: Too Difficult!
Review: I was disappointed at the level of difficulty this course presented to the beginning learner.
After struggling hours and even days with it, I had to return it because I wasn't learning anything.
I bought the Language Dynamics Behind the Wheel French CDs instead and I'm very satisfied with them because they are so easy to learn from.

Summary: Everyone has got time for this
Review: I've know lots of people who buy Lenguages courses, follow them up for 2 weeks and then forget about it. "I don't have time" seems to be the excuse given more often. With this tapes you don't have any excuses: You are in your car, and you will be in there everyday, and there's really not much left to do, after all you are driving. So, spend you time wisely.I'm amazed I've followed the course thru as long as I have.

Summary: Great to review with. Might be too hard for true beginners.
Review: Penton Overseas has done it again! Here is a French course designed for commuters. Like the guy who reviewed LEVEL 1, I'm also on the road for two hours every day. Please note: you must have a 30 min or greater time slot to use tapes effectively. Level II gives a lot of practice repeating French sentences/phrases. It also has excellent spoken review of verb tenses. (I, for one, had forgotten how some of the verbs were pronounced: travaillaient?) If you studied French in school, you can't go wrong with the LEARN IN YOUR CAR series. If you have no French at all, I would suggest a more traditional course with a workbook. P.S.: I got level I from my public library. It was too easy for me, so I went straight to this level. (Level II was NOT available for free!) P.P.S: If your main interest is enlarging your vocabulary, these folks offer VOCABULEARN. I loved it!

Summary: Easy way to learn
Review: This is a great method which starts with simple words and builds to more complex phrases. It is great to use anytime and gives a great concise presentation of all the basics. This method allows for easy recall of what has been learned. I have also tried this system with Spanish ans Russian and have found those to be of equal value.
