 THE FRENCH WHISPERER March 19, 2006

If you want to be like the majority of Americans who have taken a foreign language in high school or college and can hardly decipher a word of conversational French then Smart French is not for you. On the other hand, if you feel that the value of learning a foreign language is to understand NATIVE speakers and hear the language as it is actually spoken then Smart French is a MUST buy. This program will completely demystify the art to French spoken language--and it is an art. When I heard my first lesson I honestly felt betrayed by my other programs--why didn't they simply tell the truth about French pronunciation like Smart French does? That is why if you have had years of instruction or not even one French lesson this program will benefit you.
You get a booklet with the written dialogues, the alphabet, and helpful pronunciation tips. You also get a a CD software program which effortlessly takes you through a rich library of interesting conversations. You can watch the video and audio together or listen to the audio alone. The secret to Smart French is that it breaks it down for you--lesson by lesson. One of the most important things in learning a language is to utilize your listening skills--something that had always terrified me until Smart French. Go through each dialogue step by step and you will lose your fear and finally gain the confidence to trust your ears. Then pick up your old language books, tapes, and French movies and you will be amazed when you finally understand the speech patterns. I highly recommend this program--ENJOY!
Real Confidence Builder - Works Great with Behind the Wheel French September 4, 2005

I have used SmartFrench Audio CD Intermediate/Advanced and I highly recommend it.
I personally have used it in conjunction with Behind the Wheel French in learning to speak French and have experienced a great deal of success as a result.
Having tried a variety of methods ranging from Bertlitz to Pimsleur, I would have to say that SmartFrench Audio CD Intermediate/Advanced is a breath of fresh air. It teaches you to speak 'real French' from real French people.
I enjoyed the variety of voices on the CD and the incremental teaching approach which gets you speaking in real conversational French sentences. This builds confidence and communicative ability in French and is essential to learning to communicate effectively.
Behind the Wheel French provided me with the sentences building techniques and high frequency vocabulary that sort of 'filled in the gaps' and gave me a complete and very effective learning experience.
Either course is wonderful but both together are a dynamic duo!!!

I found these CDs excellent. They have really helped me bone up for a trip to France. I have a degree in French and have looked high and low for some review material that is fun and challenging enough and have finally found it in these CDs. I noticed an immediate improvement in my pronunciation and confidence speaking French. Merci!

No other program that I know of teaches like SmartFrench. Instead of the ineffective and monotonous lessons used by most language software, SmartFrench teaches you by way of real French conversations at real speed. Before SmartFrench, I was really frustrated. I thought I knew how to speak the language but each time I tried to listen to actual French conversations, I could never understand them! But with SmartFrench that all changed very quickly and radically. After just a few lessons, I turned on a French radio station and I could suddenly understand double what I could before I started using SmartFrench. It was like magic!

As a teacher - and student - of foreign languages, I found the 'total immersion' program presented by Christian Aubert simply brilliant. Not necessarily for those who expect to learn a foreign language overnight, but definitely an excellent medium for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. Mastering a foreign language takes more than just memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules; without being exposed to realistic settings of every day life in those countries in question, one's learning of foreign languages will always be limited and rather useless. So, if you are not among those patiently waiting for someone to develop 'The French Pill' - take it before going to bed and wake up the next day speaking perfect French - I strongly recommend you purchase this program and use over and over until you notice your understanding of the French language has considerably increased. It may not teach you how to spell correctly, but it will surely bail you out when you are trying to negotiate prices or avoiding being taken for a ride by those who normally pray on visitors who have learned their Bonjours through French for Dummies or other very appropriately named product. Two big thumbs up!!
