### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improved my listening comprehension greatly
*by A***N on October 22, 2006*

The hardest--and certainly most crucial--part of learning any language is how to properly speak and to understand when others are speaking to you. You can certainly learn every last word and grammar rule in the French language, to the point that you can read the complete works of Victor Hugo in the original French, but if you can't understand when a Parisian asks you what time it is, you might as well not speak any French!With each lesson, you are slowly taken through an excerpt of an interview with an authentic French person, some of whom are highly prominent individuals in government, fashion, etc. while others are "regular people." This diversity of interviewees is one of the highlights of this program, as the Achilles heel of many audio programs is that there may be just one or two speakers, usually one male and one female. In this program, however, you're provided over ten male and over five female speakers, giving you a much wider range of voices and speaking styles. Furthermore, the interviews are all very informal, so instead of the nameless male voice of another program speaking sentences in a typically over-enunciated and "proper" (ie. unrealistic) manner, you're seeing and hearing French people speaking like they do when they're just lounging around the house.The layout of the program is very basic, but effective nonetheless. (I'm always willing to trade flashy animations for effective instruction!)There are a few hiccups in the program, though they are quite minor. A couple of times when Mr. Aubert is going over the text, especially when it's the section of the lesson where he's pausing about twice a sentence, he sometimes skips a sentence. This led to a little bit of confusion, as I was of course expecting a completely different sentence, but it only happens a few times, and he goes over every interview several times, so even if he accidentally skips over a sentence in one section of a lesson, he's undoubtedly already said it for you in an earlier section or will not miss it in the next section (as I wrote above, it almost universally happens only during the stop-and-start sections--he quite obviously just lost his place a few times).Another small issue is that the English translations could use quite a bit of polishing. For some of the lessons, I found it actually more confusing to read the English translation than to just try to figure out the French! But since this is a program to help you with your French and not to teach you English, it's of negligible concern to me.In all, I wholeheartedly recommend this program. It's deceptively simple and effective in improving your listening comprehension. There are a few issues that exhibit an unfortunate lack of polish, but they are small defects in a very effective program.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ SmartFrench decent for listening comprehension
*by A***A on February 1, 2010*

I had French in high school and wanted to brush up for a trip to France. The conversations are good for trying to bring you up to speed on listening comprehension, but they are probably only useful for someone who has had some French before. I was hoping for authentic speed and pronunciation and this is definitely it. Most people will also need an additional grammar book or introductory text.

### ⭐⭐ Save your money
*by M***A on July 2, 2009*

If you want to learn French, save your money this is not the way. I studied French 6 years in school and lived in France. I have always had a problem in understanding spoken French. This program is no help. If you have no background in the language, this will be pure gibberish. Forgetting grammar for the moment, unless you have a good vocabulary you will have no idea what is going on. The conversations are just that, random conversations which will do you no good without some knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Hearing how to cook beans with garlic and anchovies is really going to help you in a French conversation. The only value in this course is that if you already speak some French and want to improve your accent. Don't believe all the glowing reviews. They were written apparently by people who have the wool easily pulled over their eyes. However, if you want to hear spoken French, listen to French TV. Go to [...] and select French TV and you will have a choice of French speaking programs from France, Canada, and the Congo.
