Anyways...

Here are two suggestions:

1) "Pierre" on youtube.

There are numerous French instructors on youtube, but Pierre is unique in that his videos are in French--- he teaches French in French. There are English (as well as French) captions to help you along.

Search "Francais Pierre" on youtube.


2) "Hacking French" (book)

The book is sort of a crash-course in French. Its an interesting book.

Edit:



Try Pierre. He talks to you in French, and there are French and English captions.
Huh, I didn't really think about using YouTube as a learning tool for it.

There is one in my city that appears to be active, their website isn't working at the moment but they have a Facebook page. Hopefully something I'll remember to get in touch with but before then I'll need to at least learn the basics.


Thanks to both of you for the suggestions!
