Écoutez, Parlez!  An Individualized French Oral Program
  • Learning French is entirely oral and pronunciation is key!
  • 10-15 minutes of "speaking" French daily! (more than in a traditional class)
  • Privacy in Learning!
  • No teacher required!
  • Also a great supplement to regular French!
Each book has a spiraled approach so the student is always building and adding to previously learned concepts.

Why this program is better...
Learning a language is an exercise in listening and speaking while getting a mental image of what is being spoken.  Écoutez,Parlez! provides oral exercises on CD, along with bright and colourful images on every page!  Not only does it teach pronunciation, but provides a fun way to learn vocabulary, verbs and  phrases.  We learn a language to communicate.  Those who can speak some French, often don't because they're too self-conscious about the way they sound.  Écoutez,Parlez! uses a simple one on one repetitive approach to developing proper pronunciation.  Even children as young as 5 or 6 can use this program easily.  Repetition is the most natural way to learn a language and this program is so easy to use!  Just open the book, turn on the CD and LEARN!
