REVIEW:
This video on demand collection of instructional videos is available to students, teachers or anyone wanting to speak French quickly. They can be viewed in order or users may skip around and view just the ones of interest. Each video features teacher Pierre Capretzs on camera instruction and utilizes his proven language-immersion method. A French family along with a visiting American gives users the opportunity to learn the French language in context and experience some of the culture as they travel, dine out, attend entertainment venues, and visit with family and friends. The videos are free of charge but can also be purchased along with other accompanying materials.
