3 stars (It's an okay program if you already know some French) - I am an intermediate level French speaker. Therefore, I found these lesson to be basically a boring review. CD 1 was for beginners (BORING! but NOT sufficient on its own to improve your knowledge.). CD 2 was an advanced beginner / intermediate level CD; all in French. CD 3 was kinda like CD 2 only originally done by different people. CD 4 was the interactive picture dictionary which seemed to be a waste of a CD. A French-English dictionary is much more complete. Finally, CD 5 was "Who is Oscar Lake." A game that I found lame and irritating because I kept having the same ending. The exercises on this CD were also ok, but easy for me. In conclusion, this software was an ok diversion but you WILL not be able to learn French from scratch with it.
1 stars (Really should be zero stars) - This product is really a disappointment. There are no menus and no lessons one, two, etc. On CD 1 you learn some basic words and then on CD 2 there is nothing but French. The other CDs are not much more help. I bought this program to learn French and now I'm considering not wasting my time, trashing it and starting again.
1 stars (Did not learn much) - Instant Immersion French is poor when it comes to teaching you French. I was just unable to learn from this program unlike some other programs which have helped me. Beware this product, I would consider a different company's product over this one. I have also tried French Now by Transparent Language and found that it taught me French quite well. |
