Essential French Dialogs is excellent! As high A1 speaker it gives my the tools and confidence in need to speak French in the most important tourist situations that I’d expect to run across when in France. Additionally, Camille is extremely prompt and friendly in answering questions emailed to her. Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic audio for those planning a trip to France.
All the essential vocabulary, phrases and responses to the different experiences one has when travelling in a different country are set out clearly with every effort to help the non French person be able to make themselves understood in any situation.
A great learning tool with the different speeds to help anyone from beginner to the more advanced traveller with their pronunciation of French language.
I am definitely a big fan of all the French today audio books that I have purchased over the last few years and hope for more in the future.

It is very nice, extremely helpful and I am sure that the week in France in July would be real fun and most enjoyable along with improving my French.
I am just a learner and am working with both FrancaisFacile and French Today. It keeps my mind agile the reason I took up French after retiring. Now 79 and alone, lost my husband a couple of years back needed to work with the brain. Thank you ever so much. Warm regard. Asha

I studied French in school, many years ago. I never mastered the language, but given that I visit France two or three times a year, I have always kept up an interest in the language. Over the years, I have bought many different courses, many of which have been helpful. I happened on the “Frenchtoday” website sometime ago and bought a number of their products.
I find them extremely good, and their content is excellent. This, combined with the weekly email from Camille has given me the impetus to continue trying to improve my knowledge of the beautiful French Language.

I really like the option of slowing down the dialogue to allow for better comprehension.

I have been working on learning, internalizing the French language now for four years. I have yet to venture into an immersion experience for several reasons but my efforts are encouraged and enjoyed in your audio series. I hope.had 2doyears in the classroom and I have used several different series, training methods including Pimsleur, mango, and tango, all of which help but do not give the specific information and activity that you employ. I am older (70+) and I have some dreams of fluency and residency in France or Canada. Time will tell but I use your method consistently and find hope. Keep it coming. Mark Stocks

Very useful lessons from the most common daily life situations, spoken at different speed and supported by a pdf document with translation and additional, useful, information. Strongly recommended to those who want to learn the most used dialogues in French.

For me, I would prefer the whole audio to be in French. This is for me. I understand that many others would like the English explanation. I am far along enough in understanding spoken French that I learn more when I hear only French. So I get impatient spending the time to listen to the many explanations in English. Even so, my spoken French needs a lot of work, so the dialogues are very good for me.

Down to earth help and advice. I haven’t completed the whole book because of some heath issues but what I have done was really so helpful and I cannot wait to get down to some serious studying in the next few weeks. I have classes too but I find the methods on your books really easy to follow and you seem to understand the differences between our languages and how we can learn better. Happy New Year to you all
