SmartFrench CD-ROM 1

To learn a language one has to develop speaking skills as well as understanding skills. What to do first is a matter of choice. To learn a few sentences to get by is good but to understand what's coming back to you is also important. This program will develop your listening skills, which will raise your confidence to speak and say the basic sentences you will learn somewhere else, not properly but naturally. For better progress, this process should be done simultaneously and the sooner you improve your understanding the better, right at the beginner level. Some people think that developing understanding skills should be a part of the beginner level training and some don't. For those who think it is, we have designed a beginner level. A beginner is naturally not expected to be able to understand dialogs at real speed right away, but with a little patience, you will soon feel more and more confident about your ability to "talk" French just by learning how to recognize the "rhythm" of the language and its predictable patterns.
