 Berlitz New Basic French ( vgalati_99 )
Excellent! I purchased the Italian, French and Spanish. The books and CDs are extremely helpful with my three classes. As I am also studying Spanish and Italian, it is a great way to compare the languages.

 This one really is a stinker
I'm a French teacher (I also teach English, Italian, German, and Spanish). I have crossed alot of Berlitz materials in my day but this one is the one I am exceedingly familliar with as it relates to my specialty.
This product is really not very good. It's overpriced and you should really shop around before buying. Beware, also, of glowing reviews that seem to...well, sell the product. I have seen too many of my students spend their last few euros on berlitz prodicts, such as this one, only to find themselves with a tacky, ineffective, and utterly disappointing product.

 It worked for us. ( kireid )
Two months prior to a family trip to Paris, we set about learning some French with this system. It is a class-type system, with focused listening and a workbook. It also requires some discipline. We had to adopt the discipline of "taking a class" - that is, we set aside a specific hour every single night, to sit down and work on French. Attempts to use the CDs in the car were futile. The GOOD NEWS is that it worked! While nobody confused us with native Frenchmen, we were able to converse, to order meals, to ask for and follow directions, and to shop with admirable results.
Never confuse self-teaching with an actual classroom experience. Nevertheless, our family found this Berlitz CD to be an effective tool.

Not what was expected ( mljones55 )
This product doesn't come with instructions. It turns out the CDs are useless without the workbook. The actual lesson appears to be the notebook and the CD is an extra so you can hear the words you are learning in the workbook. We were expecting a tool that could be used in the car while commuting. This is not it! The company needs to make it clear that this is a paper based course. By the way, I am a college professor.
