Behind the Wheel - French 2

By: Behind the Wheel, Mark Frobose

Narrated by: Mark Frobose

Vivez bien, aimez beaucoup, riez souvent. (Live well, love much, laugh often.) As a French language learner, you know that there is something magical about being able to express yourself in this beautiful language. Now Behind the Wheel French 2 invites you to practice your foundational French with lessons and stories based around real life scenarios, like eating out, shopping, and getting around town. This course first reviews basic concepts from French Level 1, then expands on these areas, focusing on medium-length sentence combinations, versatile vocabulary, and extensive sentence building instruction to improve conversation skills and listening comprehension. French Level 2 features both English and native French speaking instructors.

This program includes a companion book to reinforce and enhance the audio experience.

Critic reviews

<p>“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.” —<i>Minneapolis Star-Tribune</i><br><br>“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.” —<i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i><br><br>“Focuses on real-world conversation...Great value.” —<i>Men's Health magazine</i></p>

Best for those who don't wand lengthy explanations

I found this audio book simply the best among various French learning books available on audible, as this consists of only English words/sentences and French equivalents, without lengthy explanations in English or noisy BGM.
I really hope that "French 3" will be available soon.

Great so far but...

I have found the speakers and phrases easy to follow and learn from. However the audio only covers about 20 of the 96 pages of the downloadable reference document. The other 76 pages of the document contain very valuable instructions and vocabulary which I wish was also available to listen to.

Good expansion

Mid-Level addition to the first one. Easy to follow, useful phrase, excellent reviews after each lesson and a few other random ones to help reinforce old ones.
