Pimsleur French Level 1 Lessons 1-5

By: Pimsleur

Narrated by: Pimsleur

The Pimsleur® Method: the easiest, fastest way to learn French. Completely portable, easily downloadable, and lots of fun. You’ll be speaking and understanding French in no time flat!

With this newest edition of French 1, we reflect the general trend in France toward casual interaction and have updated vocabulary and structures. What you are learning is neither stilted “textbook” French, nor “street” French, but rather everyday French as spoken in France.

This course includes Lesson 1-5 from the French Level 1 program featuring 2.5 hours of language instruction. Each lesson provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons is included in each lesson. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension, and on learning to speak French.

Reading Lessons begin in Lesson 2 and provide you with an introduction to reading French. A Reading Booklet and a User's Guide are included with your download.

The French Language

French is spoken by 55 million speakers in France, 3 million in Belgium, 1.5 million in Switzerland, 6.5 million in Canada, and 5 million in former French and Belgian colonies. It is an official language in 44 countries and an official language of the United Nations. An estimated 50 million people around the world speak French as a second language.

Great way to learn a new language

Overall all the Pimsleur courses have been fantastic and love them all. I highly recommend them.

Best Language Program

I've tried them all but this is the only one that make the new language roll off my tongue.

The reading PDF is in the Audible files. Click the three dots.

I always start with Pimsleur then move to reading books to get fully fluent in a new language

Love this listening method

This method totally works for me. Love that I can listen on the go or while on walks. I’m here after completing Paul Noble’s French courses, which I highly recommend as well. It’s the same concept - learn while listening. Love it.

Interestingly enough...

I have never before learned a language as easy as I have with Pimsluer. I recommend these language guides to everyone now, including you. Well worth the buy!

i learn so much through their system! 3 languages

they teach you so much and it's seriously one of the best learning techniques out there! on my third language

Great

Best language program in my opinion. Get you to focus on speaking instead of learning spelling or conjugation

Love it!

I look forward to more lessons! It is set up beautifully to learn from! Merci!

Very easy to follow

I really easy to follow. Works on memory recall. I listened to the audio in my car on my way to work. I repeated som of the lessons 2-3Xs when working on my pronounciation. I can say I really like it. The only thing I would like (which is against the method used) is a transcript of the words or phrases. I am very much a visual learner so I would like yo see how these words or phrases are written.
