 I wish they offered an accompaying text book October 5, 2008
I agree with others who wish that Pimsleur French would offer an accompanying text that would follow the audio version. I find that learning only by rote and memorization doesn't help my recognition of French text or how to pronounce it as it is written. I'm ready for French II and would buy it in a heart beat if an an accompanying text was also offered. I'm making too many of the same mistakes. If I could see it written I could get past these hurdles.

This is a great program that gets you started on understanding the language. You will definitely need more practice to have a good conversation with a native speaker, however, but this gives a great start.
 Merci mille fois pour Pimsleur! May 8, 2008

I am just finishing French II, and am still quite pleased with this course (see review of French I). I am gaining facility in comprehension as well as ability to understand and speak more quickly. An example - several years ago I bought an Agatha Christie mystery in French and laboriously read the beginning, but had great difficulty in actually enjoying the mystery, due to having to decode so many idioms. I tried it again today - and actually enjoyed it, since the sentence structure and the connecting words were much more immediately comprehensible, after working with this course.
The accompanying reading lesson books are useful too. They are not the same as the oral material, but they serve as a nice review. They are small, light, and easy to take with you for a quick last-minute review.
A note on price - audiochips are cheaper than CDs and more efficient. The cost through Pimsleur Direct on the web is $400 for all three levels. Well worth it to me!

Good oral practice and vocab development for advanced beginners in French. Pimsleur is the best CD program that I've used.
Still the best for beginners September 21, 2005

I have tried a lot of audio methods, and Pimsleur is still the best by far. It is more expensive than most other audio methods, but it really works and it is enjoyable. Perhaps if you learn a language with family and friends and share the material, you can share the cost and practice with others! Or after you have completed the lessons, sell them (if you are generous, donate them to your library). Pimsleur really helps with proper pronunciation and uses a technique that makes what you learn stick in your brain - not any gimmicky memory tricks. Pimsleur covers a lot of basic material, but it does not overload the beginner with vocabulary or grammar - a case of less being more. However, I do wish Pimsleur included a print version of the audio material. At the end of 90 lessons (French I,II, and III), you will not speak at an intermediate level - no audio method can do that - but you will speak easily and well at a beginner level. Doing Pimsleur first, before taking a formal foreign language class, is the best way to go. I can't recommend Pimsleur highly enough.
