 Great tool February 15, 2008
All I want is to learn to communicate the essential needs of a tourist when I travel to France. This book includes sticky labels to label all sorts of items in your home, flash cards, and other tools that help to learn basic French with less effort. You will need other materials if you want to learn this language more fluently and a CD to help with pronounciation. Regardless, this book can be a helpful tool.

Although I believe the sequence of the training is good, I would have liked the CD to strictly follow the book. The tape also uses several French speakers and they all pronounce the words very differently, which to a beginner like me, is very confusing. The intent was good as they wanted folks to hear people with French accents from all over the world; however, to someone hearing and learning the language for the first time, I personally found this to be frustrating. For my level of expertise (none), I needed consistency in pronunciation and pronunciation I could understand so I could repeat. Folks who already are familiar with the language, may find this CD useful.
 Confidence in speaking French September 2, 2007
I doubt that you can learn a language in just ten minutes a day but this one at least gives you confidence to at least try to speak some french as a traveller and people always respond well to the fact that you have made an effort.
One of the most attractive features of this book is the simple system of pronuncation. Next is the logical way it sets about teaching you ie., the order of gettin to the heart of the matter. Some of the suggested ways of learning vocabulary can be expanded onWell worth the cost.
Great beginning step to learning French August 23, 2007

I bought these right after returning from Paris knowing I was going back the following year. I didn't know one word of French before these CD's and when I returned to Paris I felt quite competent getting around. I wasn't fluent by any means, but these CD's focus on what you need to know as a traveler i.e. asking basic questions, making reservations, going to the post office, airport terms, ordering food, menu item names, names of shops and conjugation of common verbs. I learned a tremendous amount just by listening to the CD's. The use of different people on the CD's introduces various accents and helps reinforce pronunciation. The workbook lessons are a nice beginner level and follow the CD's and are good to reinforce the spellings and vocabulary. There is a glossary in the back which is also helpful. I highly recommend this set to anyone wanting a good first step to learning French or just wanting to be able to get around France on vacation. It made a huge difference in my confidence from the first year, not knowing a word to being able to walk into a place asking for a table, ordering my meal and paying completely in French.
An excellent way to learn a language (well...). August 23, 2007

These CDs are a very useful adjunct to the "French in 10 Minutes A Day" workbook. They are not a substitute, though, so be forewarned that you will need the book as well. The description of this product implies that the book is included, but it is not. Still, this is a great value and has been very fun and informative to use so far. I look forward to continuing with the program.
Having been through the whole program now, I would have to add that, whereas this system provides a way of building vocabulary, it really is not designed to teach one how to speak the language. Vocabulary is emphasized to the point of essentially excluding sentence structure and grammar. Not a bad thing for the casual traveler, but if you are looking for a program that will actually help you learn to speak the language, you should probably look elsewhere. I have just ordered the French version of the Rosetta Stone program, and am hoping it will give me a more solid grounding in speaking French.
