need a transcript to see how words are spelled

These tapes are wonderful to get you talking but I would love if I could download the transcript to double check if I am hearing everything correctly. It was available for French I and I would love to have it for the Rench 2 and 3 series

Made For Simplicity and Retention

Any additional comments?

I loved Power French 1 and found it to be amazing because I actually learned to speak and understand a huge amount of French from it.
I expected Power French 2 to be a bit of a “letdown” but was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s every bit as effective as Power French 1.
This system seems to be designed so intelligently that even small amounts of grammar, common words and phrases, can all be used in different orders and sequences (you get to pick the sequence – that’s the cool part) and you come off sounding like you’ve spoken French for years.
It’s like “Cliff Notes” on steroids for wannabe French learners.
Great program series. Highly recommended

Intelligently organized for fluency & simplicity

Any additional comments?

Power French 2 is so intelligently organized that even the smallest addition of new vocabulary, a phrase or a new verb greatly magnifies your fluency. I am amazed at the simplicity of Mark Frobose’s approach, and I applaud him for the fluency in French that I am finally reaching. I suggest beginning with Power French I Accelerated before attacking Levels 2 and 3.

This is pretty fun!

Where does Power French 2 Accelerated rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I moved to France without speaking French, and have learned experientially. This book was a great complement to use on the go. Mark does an excellent job of bringing in and repeating new ideas in a way that's engaging and interesting. I looked forward to listening to this again, and have enjoyed bringing new words into my French conversations with friends!

Organized for Fluency

Any additional comments?

I would describe my ultra successful past month of intensive and enjoyable learning of French from Mark Frobose’s Power French 2 Accelerated as follows:

“The intelligent and efficient organization of French, presented in an interesting and engaging fashion, designed to stimulate within the listener, original and spontaneous French fluency and using only the most useful words, phrases, expressions and tenses in a fun, non-grammatical way”.

It’s tough to do this excellent program justice, but I just tried.

In plain English …. It’s a heckuva great program and it has pushed me towards near-native fluency in French.

Intelligent Organization & Method

Any additional comments?

What I really like about Power French 2 is the clear presentation. In fact, the entire Power French 2 program is so intelligently organized that even a small amount of intermediate French vocabulary can be used to speak hundreds of sentences that you create yourself. This gives great confidence to continue learning.
The native French speakers that I work with think that I'm in some kind of high-priced language school because my French is now sounding so good and natural.
Power French 1 really worked for me. Now Power French 2 is a clear winner.
I'm looking forward to getting Power French 3 once I've mastered all of this great material.

Repetitive But Helpful

I really enjoyed the audiobook and learned a lot but I found it to be very repetitive (more so than the first one in the series). I wish more new material had been covered rather than constantly hammering home the same 15 “slang” phrases that Mark goes over a million times.

Nonetheless it was very useful and helpful in learning French on the go, while driving home from work.

For anyone looking to learn French I would highly recommend using Glossika over the Power French series. The paid membership allows you to download sessions to your phone to go over them on the go, similar to this audiobook.

Glossika is more modern and I really like the way they slowly increase the complexity of sentences and tie in old concepts from
previous sessions into new phrase from current sessions. I’m not affiliated with Glossika in any way but it’s one of the best tools I’ve found for learning French so I thought I’d share it for anyone else looking to improve their French.

Re-awakening of my FRENCH.

I haven’t spoken FRENCH for almost 35 years, until recently required to do so in a new job. Mark Frobose’s Power FRENCH 2 Accelerated Intensive Audio Instruction has proven to be the perfect tool to quickly revitalise my ability to understand and speak French.

I recommend the Frobose French series to anyone in a similar situation. In fact, I wish I had had the Frobose audio recordings when I was starting to learn French years ago. The teaching method of combining a native English speaker with a native French speaker in rapid, repetitive succession focused on specific learning goals is perfect for my needs.

French is one of six languages that I have needed to learn during my career. Shifting gears between languages can be very difficult, especially after years of disuse. The Frobose method of instruction makes it so quick, easy and fun to re-kindle one’s ability to speak a language that it’s almost like magic. Now that I am aware of the audible set, I am happy to recommend it to others.

Timing could be better

Really liked this for the most part, but the native speaker answers way before you have a chance to. (I believe he is doing this intentionally for the teaching style, this is annoying). Also, it’s not really clear how harsh or crass some of the slang words and phrases are (e.g., “I don’t give a darn” and “she is p o’d”). How are we to know how that comes across unless he tells us? I also wish some if the slang phrases were spelled out or broken up into words—I had to look them up online to try to figure out exactly what words they were saying (e.g., “Il me tape sur les nerfs”).

Other than those things, I really liked it and have listened to it at least 3 times.

Easy and effective

I found this program to be easy to follow and understand. It held my attention, and I improve my fridge greatly. Thank you!
