great
features and instruction!, June 2, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
I've tried other CD sets to learn French and this is the best! The CD's
are multiple track and although each track is rather long, I simply use
the fast forward button on my car's CD player to skip through parts I
really know. At first it seemed strange to learn without written
materials, but the results speak for themselves (no pun intended). I
highly recommend this course. |

These
Are Wonderful Multiple Track CDs!!, May 24, 2004
Me and my car player loved these MULTIPLE TRACK French CDs. They're
easy to understand and will teach you to speak French FAST. I learned so
much French with this 8 CD set that I can speak more than my friend who
was a French major in college. How 'bout them nanners?
The tracks are laid out thematically so that you can fast forward on the
run, go back, etc ... Ideal for the car. No reading or dictionary
required. Great native French speaker and fantastic instructor who
speaks clear American English.
Don't be frightened away by those planted reviews that urge caution. I
highly recommend this course and the quality of the recordings.
P.S. I suggest to those who get an error message on these quality CDs
(see above) to buy a new player and keep the CDs. The CDs are Taiyo
Yuden, the folks who invented CD technology and the world's leading
producer of high quality CDs. I checked all this out before I bought my
course. |

Tr?
Bien et Merci!, April 6, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
Many thanks or 'Merci Beaucoup' to Language Dynamics for coming up with
Behind the Wheel French. A truly great course.
Friendly voices come at you in a non threatening way to teach you how to
speak French while in your car, jogging, etc. ..
I really appreciated the natural, non grammatical approach and the
native French speaker. I also liked the fact that the American
instructor has an advanced degree in French and was rated as an
excellent instructor by his university students. This level of expertise
is evident in the CD presentation which is low key but extremely
effective at getting one (me in this case) to speak and understand basic
French. |

I
Highly Recommend This Course, March 18, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
I saw Mark (the founder of Language Dynamics) on Good Day New York on
WYNW Fox 5 a few weeks ago. I was so impressed by his philosophy of
language teaching (and his fluency in 5 languages) that I bought his
'Behind the Wheel French' 8 CD course. From the perspective of a New
Yorker who spends time driving, (many of us don't) this course is a
godsend. It is my opinion however, that you could learn French anywhere
with this course, not just in your car.
Just like Mark said in his interview; Behind the Wheel French teaches
you the building blocks of fluency in the language, not just a few
canned phrases. Once you learn the basics from this course, you can
pretty much learn on your own because you already speak the language.
About the production. My CDs and overall package was of the highest
quality. The voices on the CDs have excellent diction and are crystal
clear. I thank Fox 5 for presenting this excellent method and course to
me and others in their segment 'Foreign Language Courses 101'. |

Great
Method and Content!!, March 5, 2004
Reviewer: |
steve (New York, NY) |
The learning technique used in Behind the Wheel French is excellent.
With this course I have learned useful French content for shopping,
ordering food, and lots of numbers practice. What I consider most
valuable is the foundation I received by learning to speak basic French
sentences. I returned my Pimsleur French course because it lacked the
content I needed on shopping, ordering food, etc ....
I am much more satisfied with Language Dynamic's Behind the Wheel
French. |

Fast,
Easy, and Effective, January 31, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
As I evaluate my experience with Language Dynamics'
Behind the Wheel French CDs three words continually come to mind.
Fast, easy and effective.
As for fast, this course had me speaking my first sentences in French in
the first session. Come on. This is an accomplishment. (especially for
me)
As for easy, if I could understand it then anybody can, believe me.
As for effective, my French Canadian neighbor says she can understand me
when I speak French to her now.
I may not sound eloquent here but I want to get the message across that
I am not being political here. I just want to convey one message to you
and that message is:
This course is great!!
