Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
French, Part 2 picks up, not surprisingly, where the Standard Deviants' French, Part 1 leaves off. Using the same functional approach to French, this tape uses fun graphics, humorous skits, transcriptions, and translations to help you learn the language (and once again the video begins with the caveat that these videos are intended to supplement, not replace, a class). Two cards included with the tape give translations of some of the dialogues, conjugations, and useful vocabulary. Beginning with a subject near and dear to le français, we visit a café where we learn about food while also discovering le partif, prendre, and different ways of asking questions. Three more sections deal with describing yourself, shopping, and morning and evening rituals, covering topics such as irregular verbs (including décrire, vouloir, and dire), regular verbs, more adjectives and adverbs, conjugations, the past tense, direct and indirect pronouns, and reflexive verbs. Occasionally dialogues are repeated with the English translation beneath them, which seems superfluous given that the translations are provided on the enclosed cards. While the video could benefit from more native French speakers, this is a delightful introduction to the language, and a fun complement to a high school or college French class. --Jenny Brown

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- dumbed down french, very superficial
I have to be very motivated to write a review on anything. What motivates me here is how painful it is to watch this DVD lesson more than once. It seems to me to be high on hype and low on substance. Many so so jokes and good looking actors, but very little though in helpful repetition or anything much "beyond the basics". Too much fluff, too little substance. Also would be better to have actors who are native french speakers to learn from.

Rating:

- Useful and easy to use
There are some mistakes in the spelling in one or two items, but overall, it is very good, easy to follow and helpful.

Rating:

- Fun, entertaining & educational
A fun, interesting reinforcement and clarification of practical French phrases and rules. A great supplement for students taking french lessons in high school or college. Also great for adults. I bought Part 2 first. After watching the video, I ordered Part 1 for my daughter.
