Customer Reviews

A good guide to beginners in French.

I expected to hear a lot of words in English and its French translation, but what I found was a concise guide to understand and speak French in different everyday situations. A great surprise ! Vocabulary on the cassette is organized in 12 subjects (Feelings, the Weather, Moods / Leisure Time with Friends / Shopping / Health ...) with almost 40 expressions per subject, first spoken in English and later in French by a man or a woman. Sound is good and the English speaker introduces in a pleasant way every group of phrases. Booklet has two parts, one with the cassette transcriptions and the other with some travel tips and more words and sentences (in both parts you will learn more sentences than words) grouped in others 15 subjects (related with the events of a trip) not included in the cassette but with a pronunciation guide. Recommended for those that are planning to travel to a francophone country and has a basic or none knowledge of French.
