Very difficult and hard-to-follow approach
I had no idea about French when I first bought this tape, and after I listened to the first tape I still had no idea about French! It is impossible to learn French from these tapes! I spent two days listening to Lesson 1 trying to grasp its content, but it was very difficult. New words are introduced without explaining their meanings, they talk very fast, basic concepts are ignored, and the exercises are useless! After spending almost a month trying to learn from the tapes I decided to enroll in French classes. After a month now I am the best student so far and I can initiate basic conversations. I guess this means that the problem doesn't lie within me, it's with those tapes. I did however benefit from learning a few new French words, but that is not worth the cost at all.
