1) Audio CD Book French With Michel Thomas: The Fastest Way to Learn a Language (Deluxe Language Courses with Michel Thomas) by McGraw-Hill. Overall, this program is a great tool for those wishing to learn spoken French. Whether you are a total beginner or you´ve learned French in school with little success and want a new approach, you will find this Michel Thomas´ program useful. Keep in mind, this is only a basic introduction and you will learn only present tense and a little bit of future tense. To go beyond that, I would imagine you´d need to study Michel´s language builder and French Advanced programs.

With this program you WILL learn basic French quickly and easily. Within minutes of starting, you will be constructing basic sentences. Michel Thomas has a unique way of introducing new concepts to you by tying them to information you already know about the French language but don´t know that you know. From there, he slowly adds more and more information and it´s so much fun that you don´t even realize you´re learning.

My only qualm about this program, and hence the four stars, is the female student. Her inability to get it after the eighteenth explanation is extremely frustrating and I found myself finally losing it and shrieking "Voulez VOUS for crying out loud!!!" at her. When you listen to CD #1 you will understand why. Her slowness and confusion wasted a lot of time and caused a lot of tension and impatience for me, the student. If both students were at an average or above intelligence level (such as the other student in the program), then this program would be a lot more fun.

Overall, highly recommended for someone who wants a quick and easy French introduction. But, realistically, if you want to become fluent and well respected by native French speakers, you will need many more programs and courses (not to mention practice, practice, practice!) in order to advance to a much higher level.

2) Audio CD Book French With Michel Thomas: The Fastest Way to Learn a Language (Deluxe Language Courses with Michel Thomas) by McGraw-Hill. Indeed you feel like you are learning quite a lot, quite quickly, when you first start this, however there are a couple of things that make this somewhat overrated. Not much focus on pronounciation, which is so important in French. Michel sounds like an old grandpa, who mumbles his english at times, so you will not get crisp pronounciations out of this guy. I really wish there was a French speaker conversing with Michel, instead there are a couple of students sitting along side him and in my opinion they just drag the flow of these lessons. The students constantly make mistakes, which gets quite annoying (and confusing) after a while and you feel like you are starting to pick up bad habits from them. To Michel´s credit, he does have a way of getting a lot of good material across and the lessons are structured well and most importantly you do learn from this, and it´s reasonably priced.¤

I am 3 hours into this course and I felt compelled to write about the experience....As a victim of 1 years worth of high school French years ago all I will say is that I learned more in the first hour with Michel than I EVER did in school...Great fun and a real feeling of satisfaction!

4) Audio CD Book French With Michel Thomas: The Fastest Way to Learn a Language (Deluxe Language Courses with Michel Thomas) by McGraw-Hill. I was speaking basic French in the first few days without any workbook or study guide, I just used the CD.

I warn you though, the program works for me when I can relax and fully focus on the program. A casual listen while doing other things does not work.

A good place to use the CD:
- A 30min. + car ride without any passengers

A bad pace to use the CD:
The commuter train or the Gym since saying the words out loud is part of the learning process.

This was a gift to my wife as we are going to France in 6 months. She likes to listen to the CD´s in her car. She now is speaking French. My favorite part is "Don´t think Ruth, you are working too hard." This is an excellent way to learn French.¤
