Customer Reviews room for improvement, especially at that price A good program, but does not offer the chance for spontaneous speaking like Pimsleur does, just repetitions. ^M Internalizes the language The immersion process is the only one that works, and this product is a first rate immerser, making the study painless, even immensely pleasurable as one realizes he/she is coming to "own" a new language and perspective. In working with students it is the best "head start" method that I know of, comparable to one-on-one study for at least a year with an accomplished tutor. Unlike less effective methods, it quickly achieves the essential purpose of deeply internalizing the language if one does each of the processes thoroughly. Of course continued study, especially in acquiring vocabulary, is necessary, just as it is for those acquiring a native language - the study of any language is ongoing.^M Very good product to study French While not easy, this is a very good product for learning the French language. There is a variety of learning tasks that reinforces the learning experience. Although most of the learning options were useful, I found typing responses in French to be too awkward and time consuming to use without a French keyboard. The visual pictures would be more effective if images from France or the French speaking countries had been used.
