Title: Mastering French: Level Two (Foreign Service Institute) by Baron's Educational Series, Carolyn B. Mitchell ISBN: 0-8120-7918-3 Publisher: Barrons Educational Audio Pub. Date: September, 1992 Format: Audio Cassette Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $79.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.25 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Outdated but okay.
Comment: Same format, native speakers, and instruction methodology as in Level I. The going will be a bit easier in this second part because by now you should have already mastered some of the pronunciation hurdles that trouble English speakers. Purchasing both Level I and II gives you 24 ninety-minute cassettes of audio which is quite a value if you like old-school "overlearning" type of instruction (i.e. rote memorization, repetition practice, lexical drills). It's a dated approach but still works well.

Summary: Massive!
Comment: I commute to work each day for about 2 hours and do this program. I recommend this learning program for those who have extra time here and there- commuting, laying out at the beach, traveling, whatever. Over time all of the tidbits of information here will sink in to your brain. But these are more than tidbits- they are the most essential and basic words and everyday phrases to get by and converse in French on an intermediate level. Of course, keeping up with Parisian and local 'argot' is probably impossible unless you live in the respective area, but what is learned from this system will get you through in speaking French properly, regardless of the fluctuating neighborhood nuances. What I would have liked to have heard more of are expressions like "Quelle belle piece!" for sometimes the dictation is a bit monotonous. I find foreign languages, and French in particular, easiest to remember when it is charged with emotive expression and even situational comedy- which these tapes somewhat lack. Overall, however, it may be preferable to come off as a tempered French speaker. Thus, this French learning system is recommended for its thoroughness.

Summary: The Path to Fluency
Comment: Grueling at times, yes, worth it, absolutely! The only way to become fluent is to become so used to saying something that searching for the right words or grammatical syntax is no longer necessary or at least not as much of a chore. The drill approach is the best without a doubt.
Be prepared to pull your hair out, but the results come quickly and tend to stick longer than with other conventional language instruction packages.
