Language Courses/CDs

[MayContainNuts]

It's a good idea!

Has anyone tried during one of these course when driving for example? A two hour commute with the CD in? Do you think this a good way to learn or distracting?

Anyone recommend one that they have used.

Looking to get my French back to fluency again not sure if Rosetta Stone or Linguaphone would be better. Something that can be listened to on the train is always good.

The Public Library is a good place to start and you can help them by taking your laptop and backing up the CDs and DVDs for them.

I bought this:

http://www.laguinguette.com/learn/

The intermediate and advanced courses are all in French, so that's good for the intermediate learner because you're immersed in French. I've listened to them several times over in the car, but I do learn better at the computer where I can read the text and rewind to the right point without crashing into a lorry.

The Michel Thomas courses are excellent, for beginners. I have the full foundation courses and advanced courses in both French and German, but "advanced" isn't really that advanced, and (particularly in German) he leaves out an awful lot.

When I was looking, these came highly recommended
French With Michel Thomas Complete Course CD: Amazon.co.uk: Michel Thomas: Books

WHS -

There's two students learning on the CD's and you're the third, the idea is you think about how you would construct a sentence rather than remembering.

The intermediate laguinette ones look good and I like the fact that it's pretty much in French, so gets you thinking in French. Thanks!
