The Pimsleur® Method is scientifically proven to be your fastest route to near-native fluency. Speak and understand French in just 30 minutes a day.

With this newest edition of French 1, we reflect the general trend in France toward casual interaction and have updated vocabulary and structures. What you are learning is neither stilted “textbook” French, nor “street” French, but rather everyday French as spoken in France.

This course includes Lessons 11-15 from the French Level 1 program featuring 2.5 hours of language instruction. Each lesson provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons is included in each lesson. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension, and on learning to speak French.

Reading Lessons are included to provide you with an introduction to reading French. A Reading Booklet is included with your download.

I would like to see an expansion of Italian so I can more. To who it may concern.

Helpful repitition

If you want to learn to speak and understand French fairly well, then the Pimsleur courses work well enough.

Learning French in a practical way. Enjoying it!

Lessons are for understanding others and how to respond and start conversations in every day life.

Best in Class

Aside from full immersion, there's no better way to learn French than this course from Pimsleur.

Excellent way to practice conversational French

Overall very good. Tried to find the booklet for the reading lessons. What I found to download only matched the audio part of the time.

Really enjoying the lessons

I’ve already learned so much! It’s easy to listen to and follow along. Very clear instruction and explanations.

Pimsleur French lessons 11-15

The best and most useful conversational review of french in my opinion! Am working my way through the entire series before my trip to France.

Frustrating

Though the first lesson and second set were good, this set and the one after mixes up pronouns, adjectives, and verb tenses too quickly without explaining any grammar rules (they do stop to explain numbers and articles but for some reason never verbs!) For example, they never explain verb negation or where to place adverbs in a statement vs a question. They do a lot of repeating words like beer and wine, not nearly enough to help with verbs and negation. They also skip around too fast, such as introducing a new verb or adjective, then abruptly shifting back to numbers over and over again before you have time to understand the grammar pattern. If all you want to do is order beer and wine and figure out your change this is for you because 17 lessons in that’s been the primary focus (that and for some reason learning to contradict women is part of almost every lesson!)
