Many words, but little explanation included

Compared to other French-courses available (like the Paul Noble one) this throws a lot of words at the listener but has too few explanations and too little grammar to really be useful on its own - I would perhaps recommend it as a supplement to other courses.

8th listen and still improving

Mark Frobose's method and short-cuts are the best I have found in any audio-only experience!

Fast-paced

Overall, this was good. However, I could have used more information on sentence structure and why things were going in the order they were.

Decent language guide

Good language learning guide. got some basics out if it. Will got through again and hopefully get more. I'm fortunate enough to live in a french speaking country so I get to practice as I go.

love this book!!!!

this is awesome, it's very fast paced but totally works! they start with the basics (ordering at a french restaurant) but surprisingly it swings into some main areas of learning by that, so it's not some tacky travelers audio book (unless you want it to be)

I plan on purchasing the whole series!

Fantastic!

I've learned Spanish through other methods and I had great success with this audio book. I am cramming French in a short timeframe for my first trip to Paris. I listened in the car and while doing chores. Before long I could order food, greet people, get around easily and understand how verbs translate The program infuses the repot ion of words in a way that causes you to easily to remember them. The narrators are awesome.

Quick and thorough review of conversational French

Excellent for someone who studied the language years ago and needs a quick yet thorough review of common words and phrases.

Easy & Effective

Would you listen to Power French Accelerated: 8 One-Hour Audio Lessons (English and French Edition) again? Why?

This seems to have an good combination of repetition and springing forward to learn new words and phrases. I get tired occasionally of the repetition, but I think it serves the purpose of reinforcing the basics. The french speaker is very easy to understand, with a clear, pleasing voice - different from several other audio books I've sampled. The one thing I wish this offered is a course outline showing the words and phrases in writing. I'm more of a visual learner, and not seeing the spelling of the words (even though this is a refresher for me, not completely new) is a bit of a hindrance. But, overall, this was very useful and easy to listen to.

Love The Tapescript and the Recordings

Any additional comments?

I am an audio and visual learner, so I depend heavily on both when learning a new language. I love the approach of Power French Accelerated. The voices are the best I’ve heard, and I can’t believe how much French I am speaking and understand. Very enjoyable, and I especially appreciate the awesome Listening Guide Transcript that came with the program. Pimsleur French is good too, but they don’t offer any written material. Frobose does, so I read and study my audioscript at night and then listen and practice with just the audio during the day in the car and while on break at work. This supporting written material with its clear explanations is the icing on the cake of this beautiful program that continues to amaze me with great learning and speaking ability every day.
