1.0 out of 5 stars only for the feeble-minded, 5 Oct 2006
By R. M. Robinson (South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The writers/producers of this work must have assumed that their potential listeners are mentally retarded idiots. Long pauses are left to enable one to remember the most simple words. A breathless and over-enthusiastic American woman invites one to do things such as "imagine a toilet on top of the Eiffel tower", in an effort to assist one to remember that the French word is equivalent to the English word. At that point I decided to abandon the cd. There is, after all, a limit. In addition, the usefulnesss of the work is greatly reduced by the absence of articles before nouns. It assists one little to know that chair is 'chaise', without also knowing that it is 'la chaise'. Had the ratings permitted me, I would have rated this at a minus.

4.0 out of 5 stars French by Association, 30 Jul 2003
By A Customer
This has been really useful in learning basic words - I had no knowledge of French but now I know the 200 or so on this CD. Some of the associations are not the most logical for me as an Australian because it uses American pronounciations or phrases but I was able to make up my own associations for those few. It doesn't teach any 'joining' words so I couldn't say a complete sentence by using this alone and it also doesn't teach how to conjugate verbs but as a basic way to learn nouns, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful as a refresher and for beginners, 5 Sep 2007
By J. Sheridan-ross "jakkisr" (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The cd uses word association and opportunities for you to practice phrases before moving onto the next phrase. The author speaks and explains things to you then gets 2 'students' (1 is quite good at french, the other is finding it tricky!) to repeat the word before you have a go. He points out what the students got right and wrong and clarifies any common pronunciation errors. I enjoyed practising my rather rusty pronunciation alongside the 'students' on the cd. My husband didn't know any french before listening and although he chose not to speak any french on holiday he could certainly recognise and understand spoken and written french better than he could previously. I liked the pace of the cd, the word association techniques may seem a bit tacky but they do actually work! It's not advanced and it wouldn't get you through a GCSE or a business environment but its a pleasant way to refresh your memory or practice your pronunciation of very useful words and phrases for everyday life and social situations.
