Publisher's Summary

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.

Learning French

I enjoyed the pace and pauses of the speech. It was clear and very easy to understand when broken down. I really enjoyed the breakdown of individual words as well and made pronunciation fun and enjoyable. When I tried to speak faster it was almost a tongue twister but I laughed and carried on.

I’m Canadian, so I encounter a different French dialect (Quebec French) which has a slightly different structure than “France French” and unsure of how the flow of conversation/ sentencing may progress.

Easy to follow

I've restarted my French language learning and this is keeping me motivated! It is incredibly easy/natural to follow and the expectation of just 30 minutes per day has been feasible! Excited for the next round of lessons ☺
