Summary: The best way to get better French
Comment: One of the biggest impediments to learning a foreign language is the ability to *hear* that language spoken naturally and at normal speed by native speakers. The Practice and Improve tapes use total immersion in the format of an evolving story that gradually increases in speed and complexity. By employing different speakers from different regions (and characters with different socioeconomic backgrounds), you get a rich set of auditory distinctions. The story is interesting enough that you don't mind hearing it several times.

My only criticisms are that the transcript and the learning guide are in two different books (awkward), and the music is getting a bit dated. This is NOT the set to go for if you want to learn advanced rules, structures and grammar.

I recommend this set to anyone who has studied french, but wants to actually be able to speak it.
