Learn French: The Complete Beginner's Audio Course

Bonjour! Ready to actually speak French? In this complete audio course, French author and language teacher Gipsy Paladini guides English speakers through ten progressive lessons of real, everyday French – no textbook, no rote drills, just her voice, her examples and plenty of space for you to answer out loud. You will introduce yourself, go shopping, order in a restaurant, describe the weather, make a doctor's appointment and learn to ask questions three different ways. Along the way you will master the grammar that trips English speakers up: masculine and feminine, the three verb groups, the near future and the passé composé. Every lesson opens with a review of what came before and closes with a quiz, so nothing slips away. And because a language is never separate from its culture, Gipsy also explains why the French call their police chickens, what really happened on the 14th of July, how the school system works, which cheeses matter and the slang you will actually hear in the street. Over five hours of listening, taught by a native speaker who knows exactly where learners stumble. À bientôt!
