I received the CD sampler in the mail the other day and was so excited to see what it was like after reading all the raves here. I was so disappointed. I don't speak French (my kids have had 3 years in school) but I don't get the program at all. I started with the lesson pages first, then went to the audio clips. Baffled and confused pretty much sums up my experience.
As for the CD, the sound quality was horrible. You could hear the English speaker but, the French speaker was more like a whisper. My 10 yo listened, spoke along with the CD so I could actually hear the French being said, shook her head and said, "Please tell me we're not going to use this."
I know this curriculum has worked well for others here. What am I missing or not getting?
I really wanted this to be the program, but now it looks like I'm now going to have to look at others. First Start French is on my list as well as L'ART DE LIRE!
