Here are my reviews of two very good french CD courses:)
Michel Thomas
An 8 hour course that involves no writing or memorising :P
You just sit there, listen, pause, and repeat!
It's actually not that easy but it is a very unique way of learning, and though it doesn't bring you to fluency, as no tapes or cds do really, it does give you a good grounding on pronounciation and speaking french:)
Pimsleur
Pimsleur is a man who was devoted to teaching languages and believed that to learn something we must hear it and repeat it after 5 seconds, 1 minute, 5 mins, 1 hour, 1 day, a week, a month, 3 months, a year
or something along those lines
Anyways it's 90 thirty minute lessons that you do one a day and boom!! ........ u've competence in french :P
Personally I recommend doing michel thomas then pimsleur so you'll be grand =D and by right it should only take like...4 months? Enough time for alizee's tour to really kick off ;)
Michel thomas can be getting off play.com, amazon or whereever really:)
Pimsleur is like.....600$
However a friend of a friend told me that his friend heard off his hairdresser who got it off her dog walker they these courses might be around the net as torrents :| shock horror.........
Anyway happy learning =D
