short scenes all in French provide excellent practice (

Finally a tape that teaches French without constantly lurching into English and breaking the French rhythm. Each scene is introduced briefly in English, orienting the listener to the scene just as youd be oriented if you were there ("Father & son are loading the car for a fishing trip..."). Then you hear the dialogue in French three times: fast (identify the trouble spots), slow (figure out the trouble spots),fast (understand the whole thing). Its the way youd learn if you lived in France and didnt hear any English. The conversations are funny, full of French wit, and the situations have enough tension to hold your interest. Some of the speakers use slang and/or have slight regional accents. I wish there were more tapes like this.
