Critic reviews

“The audio-only lessons build upon one another, using a native speaker to help you learn useful words and actually construct sentences from the get-go.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Unlike other audio language programs, this series encourages students to create their own sentences, making it more fun and conversational than other more expensive programs.” —The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Focuses on real-world conversation...Great value.” —Men's Health magazine

Good for a repetition

What did you love best about Behind the Wheel Express - French 1?

It provides good way to refresh your knowledge of french by giving you a quick summary of the most important situations and sentences with time to repeat the answers for yourself.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The speaker speaks clear which is especially important for a language course.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The tempo of this language course is quick. Therefore, it is suitable if you already know french and just want to refresh your knowledge. If you are a beginner, the speaker is probably to quick and there is not enough time to repeat the sentences and also not enough practice-time.

Any additional comments?

As stated above, this language course is not suitable for beginners since most sentences are repeated only once and there is only little time foru the listener to repeat after the speaker. But if you already learned french, but have forgotten most vocabulary, this might be a good idea to start and remember. It provides a lot of the sentences which are needed on a short trip to Paris.
