French Now Level 1 (Barron's Foreign Language Guides)

Product Information

With students, you know immediately if you’re teaching it in a way that they’re not understanding - and you can put it right. First the Channel Tunnel, then the rise of cheap air travel took a dent out of our enthusiasm for the roll-on, roll-off start to our holidays. In the ‘Essential French dialogs’ audiobook, there is a tips and tricks section with a separate recording for each. But, despite the alternatives, for many it remains a supremely relaxing way of travelling – especially (obviously) if you like to use your own car and hop across the Channel or over the North or Irish Seas for your holidays.

This is a nice contrast to other resources, like FrenchPod101, which uses too much English throughout the lessons. Whatever your level, here is a real opportunity for you not only to learn French but also to speak French. Together we designed a French learning method which is clear, simple, intuitive – and a smart app to learn French at home or on the go. Quite simply, readers love the service it offers on its high-spec ships – especially the food – and the fact that your holiday feels as though it has started as soon as you board, rather than when you drive off the ramp.

It reminds me a little of Francais Authentique, though a bit more accessible to lower level students. If you do find the fact that the audio is all in French to be a bit too challenging, you’ll be happy to see that the English translation is given in the transcript.

Acquiring proper French pronunciation depends on getting immediate feedback so you can make corrections. Practice and review questions are presented throughout the text, and answers to all questions are given in a set of perforated pages at the back of the book.

Dialogues, songs, word puzzles, and other student-friendly features help students build French communication skills as they gain insights into contemporary French life and culture. It suspended its services and eventually recommenced operations using agency staff from overseas, contracted by a third-party supplier.The PDF recommends that you practice the slow recordings along with the transcripts at first, then listen to the street version (normal speed) and finally look at the study guide after each chapter or recording. This would be a very good course if not for the fact that the audio part of the program does not cover dialog part.
