- By Mel
- Berlitz have always been market leaders in Teach Yourself languages. This is a very flexible package, and is just what you need to get by very nicely En Francais. Very handy to be able to practice whilst stuck in traffic on the M25, and at home on PC or Laptop. You really can start with little or no knowledge of French, and quickly develop your skills at your own pace. I remember learning French at school, and it was BORING!! However, Berlitz have introduced "Fill in the Blanks" games, speech analysis exercises (which allows you develop more fluent French with an authentic accent, as well as a number of other great features. It actually manages to make learning French fun, and that is praise indeed. Don't expect this package to teach you to speak fluent French, just a good grounding, and more than enough to get by with. There are additional modules availalbe for more advanced students.
