Short and melodic

It was way shorter than what I was hoping for. my husband picked it out and I was shocked to find it was only 1 hour long. Guess I will find my own long book next time. the melody was weird but then ok.

Nice tool

This series is helpful and pleasant to listen to. Some phrases are very helpful.

Music too loud!

It was very hard to pull the French pronunciation and phrases as the music was too loud.

A+

I really like the earworms french. I listen to it while I'm at the gym. I really like that it is done to music, it helps make it more interesting to listen to.

Rapid French: Volume 1

It takes many different types of learning tools to learn French and this is one of them. It contains practical usage, phrases and words in a pleasant format. The French and English are clear and easy to understand and both speakers are great. You can listen to it anywhere. This is a good product, especially for the price.

If you lack the time to go through an entire book or class, I'm sure this will help you. As the Name suggest "Rapid French". I found both volumes to be very helpful.

Great for review !

It's informal and a relaxed and easy lessons. This was a great review of the basics.

Interesting way to learn French

Very interesting way to learn a foreign language. Will need to listen a number of times to retain the information.

Also Good Fun...

I think the other reviewers are right on with their reviews. However, I am so excited about this listen that I couldn't help but add my 2 cents. While I speak 2 other languages besides English, I never find learning a new language painless -- or more importantly fun. But as I visit Paris quite frequently, and have yet never mangaged to pick up a word of French, I decided to download this (based mostly on the recommendations of the other reviewers) and give it a try before my next visit. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a painless and fun way to learn basic conversational French. The phrases are spoken over a music track (which really helps keep your attention and the phrases in your mind) in a dialouge format (between an English speaker learning basic French and a French speaker) and the chemistry between the speakers is engaging. What I also found useful was that the English speaker sometimes makes mistakes in pronounciation which are corrected by the French speaker and this made me feel both less worried about making mistakes and better able to hear that I was making similar mistakes in pronounciation. This is truly a fun and useful listen and I give it 5 stars up.
