Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Commuter-french beginner-"lingo-maniac"
What made the experience of listening to French for Beginners the most enjoyable?
The structure of it was very easygoing and it did not rely much on grammar or spelling so I could listen to it while I was driving or running on treadmill and that was very enjoyable for me.
What about Alexa Polidoro’s performance did you like?
It was great. The way she did it was not stressful and she talked about everyday needs in French so you felt you can actually practice them everyday in your head. Also it was very important that she didn't bother with grammatical points too much, and also with songs and breaks in the middle of each lesson it was relaxing to listen to them.

It is helpful, but you need more French content
It does gradually build your French skills, but there's too much filler and music added at the end when you wouldn't really understand the song at that level. There are too many jokes in English and repetitive advertising for the teacher. You would have to get through a lot of the lessons to get to the nuggets. If you get through it all, though, it would be useful. I wouldn't dismiss it. It could have been better. That's all.

Helpful and Clearly Presented Tutorials
Any additional comments?
I'm currently studying first semester French in a college level course. I listen to these Alexa French tutorials on my 30 minute bike ride to work every day and find them to be good refreshers. Her explanations and examples are very clear and have helped me with French grammar and usage. I also use the lessons to practice my pronunciation. In particular, I like how she introduces verb conjugations, gender and definite/indefinite articles early in the course and has you composing complete sentences and asking questions. Will you learn to speak French from these lessons? Probably not, but you're unlikely to do so from any online resource alone. However, I think they are very useful as refreshers or supplementary tutorials.

too little French, too much English
Where is the abridged version? If one could do a word count of the transcript of these lessons, one would probably find that it's 95% in English and 5% in French. In terms of duration, the French parts in total are only slightly longer than the advertising at the end, and definitely shorter than all the musical episodes. Many English episodes are completely unnecessary, for example, explaining the idea of first, second and third persons, and the idea of conjugation and where one finds that in English.

Waste of time
What disappointed you about French for Beginners?
Mostly advertisements for additional products and music rather than language instruction.
Has French for Beginners turned you off from other books in this genre?
Somewhat because I paid for this and it was well-rated.
