I just went over the beginners level for the french lesson and I asked to myself, " Why didn't my french instructors from France, teach me how to read the material or even pronounce the alphabet correctly?" I review some of the material in the book and french is way easier to learn with your program. Thank you for making the cds audios and software. No other programs work for me at all, Not even other "learn french online for free" websites. Thank you Thank you Thank You. You've just gained another lifetime customer.

This program is a total waste. All it is, is French Conversations that you read along with. It TEACHES you nothing. Don't waste your money.

Smart French is a unique program that carefully introduces the learner to the way the language is really spoken by native speakers. I've used many instructional materials, texts, cd roms, tapes, videos, and have taken classes as well as worked with a private tutor for a year. Smart French is one of the best programs I've used, particularly in the way it structures the lessons and its use of highlighted text that shows what is and is not pronounced in French conversation. It has helped a lot with listening comprehension. I'm also pleased that my pronunciation, fluency, and accent have improved. I have a long way to go, but this program has made a difference. I recommend Smart French highly as a very effective way to increase confidence and ease with the language.

If you are serious about understanding spoken French, and learning to speak it yourself, then you owe it to yourself to pick up Smart French. Each lesson is broken down into logical steps that enable you to progress rapidly. It still takes discipline and motivation, and a good book on grammar is highly recommended, but of all the ways I have attempted to learn and to teach myself french, this is far and away the best.
Perhaps the key insight of this learning system is to get the listener (and viewer) quickly to the point where one is learning to understand and to repeat French the way that it is spoken by French speakers. We have all had the experience of feeling that people speaking in other language speak too quickly for us to pick up more than a word or two. With Smart French you will learn not only to follow along, but to speak at the same pace, and before you know it you will be speaking quickly too.
This is not the system to get if you desire only to learn canned phrases and to attempt to reach a facile understanding of phrasebook French, but if you want to attempt to get a handle on French as an organic language, a tool with which to communicate, a tool with a fantastic linguistic history and tradition, and an ever-evolving tool at that, then I recommend giving Smart French a try.
