As a French teacher, one question I am often asked is what learning package is the best for adults or teens wishing to learn French from home. Long ago I set out to find the answer to this question, and one thing really surprised me when I did. There are too many French learning packages out there that simply aren't good enough.
When you look at the tools available on the web, you'll find software, books, flash-card programs, and more. Sorting through them all is difficult, and choosing one can be even more intimidating.
If you've been thinking of learning French then you'll be pleased to hear that, along with some of my colleagues, we took the time to evaluate the top five French learning packages available today.
With our evaluations we actually took two steps. First we evaluated the programs as teachers. We looked at them from the point of view of - would they be able to teach our students what we taught them. The next step I took was to actually bring the programs into my adult learning classes. I had my adult students use the programs at home for a period of time and then gave a basic test to see what they had learned and retained.
