Pimsleur French - Best Price! Download your Pimsleur French Audio Now!
French Audio LessonsFrench Audio Lessons are especially suited to French students who want to learn French fast and with a correct French pronunciation from start. Learning French form books only means that you will have all the bits of a puzzle, i.e you know the French Grammar, know how to handle French verbs, possibly have a vast French vocabulary and know how a French phrase should be built. The guys at the Panthéon would love your knowledge! (It's the official seat of the Academie Française, the guardians of the French language) But when you happen to meet a French native speaker, the problems usually start, because the way things were described in the book is not at all how most French speak. The day to day French conversations are totally different from the theoretically correct and 'academic' French you learned from books... French Audio Lessons DownloadThe best way to learn French that you can actually use and that will become useful when travelling in France or other French speaking countries, is to use French audio lessons. These French lessons will involve you in everday conversations, simulating real situations that you will encounter when meeting French people. The accent and the pronunciation of these native speakers will be different from the pronunciation rules you learn in books. Like in every other language, the spoken French differs from the written French, and depending on the education level of the person you have in front of you, it will be more or less correct or colloquial. Thus, learning French form audio lessons is certainly more practical and it will allow you to become able to hold real conversations with real native speakers fast. There are a few other advantages, when you take Pimsleur French lessons. You can download your first French audio lesson now, just click on any of the links to the left.

What satisfied customers say about the Pimsleur French audios:
Great Intro For The
First-Timer!!
I have an extremely limited ability with the
French language. While written foreign language comes a lot
simpler to me, this set of lessons has given me an insight into
the speaking side of the language. This course is a wonderful
introduction to pronounciation. It also gives basic sentences
and/or phrases to get any one started on speaking the language.
While no course is perfect for all who wish to learn, this is a
good, basic set of lessons for those who plan to spend a
significant amount of time in France on business, travel, or
for someone who plans to move to France. Most certainly
dedication is the key. With practice, once you get to your
destination, you will have enough knowledge and comfort with
French to continue speaking to others on your own. --

Excellent but don't expect
miracles.
I finished all three levels in the series. I
originally bought the course because I was about to move to
Geneva, Switzerland, and was in a hurry to learn French, having
absolutely no knowledge of French previously. This series is a
very introduction, albeit expensive. The course alone will NOT
make you fluent, and it does not purport to do so. At the end
of the second level, I can go to a resaurant and speak to the
waiters comfortably, introduce myself, make plans with friends,
among other things. Right now, after finishing all three
levels, I can make reservations, chat superficially in French
with neighbors and friends, and shop without much difficulties.
In fact, I find that I can understand a lot if I speak to a
person face to face, especially if the spoken words are
accompanied by vivid expressions and gestures. Unfortunately, I
still cannot understand what goes on on TV or radio, though I
find that I can pick up phrases or words here and there. I've
taken 3 years of Spanish in high school, and 3 years of German
in college, and I would say that I speak French much better at
this point, realizing, though, that I have forgotten a lot of
German and Spanish. My pronounciation of French, I've been told
by many, is quite good. Don't
expect miracles and be realistic. You still need to take time
to listen and absorb the materials. However, the course is
designed in a way that encourages you to use it. After I listen
to the lesson, I usually want to go out and use it immediately,
and I characterize myself normally as a shy person. Definitely
buy it if you are going to invest the time and need to start
using French immediately. After finishing the series, you will
be at the stage of learning curve where your speaking/listening
skills can improve exponentially, provided that you are in an
environment where French is a necessity. --
Good supplement for language
learning.
I own Pimsleur's French I and II language courses. I just love
them! I plan on purchasing French III. I took private lessons
in French for 6 years. I can read the more basic French and am
familiar with French grammar but wasn't very fluent. I hate to
memorize. That's what my instructor said I must do in order to
become more fluent. I love the Pimsleur series because it
forces to do that. I plan on using what I learned with the
Pimsleur method as a foundation for further learning through
other methods including more reading in French, review of
vocabulary and grammar, and finding more opportunities to hear
French spoken and speaking in French. -- S. Billings,
