dumbed down french, very superficial
I have to be very motivated to write a review on anything. What motivates me here is how painful it is to watch this DVD lesson more than once. It seems to me to be high on hype and low on substance. Many so so jokes and good looking actors, but very little though in helpful repetition or anything much "beyond the basics". Too much fluff, too little substance. Also would be better to have actors who are native french speakers to learn from.

Useful and easy to use
There are some mistakes in the spelling in one or two items, but overall, it is very good, easy to follow and helpful.

Fun, entertaining & educational
A fun, interesting reinforcement and clarification of practical French phrases and rules. A great supplement for students taking french lessons in high school or college. Also great for adults. I bought Part 2 first. After watching the video, I ordered Part 1 for my daughter.
