If you are travelling to France or just want to improve french, there's some various systems available. My friend tried an online downloadble system that she said worked for her.
First she said she tried the free 6 day system online to see if it clicked for her. You can get at bottom of the page.
What's different she said is that it is interactive audio. Also it is practical- you are studying what you need to know- ie how to order at restaurants, how to shop in a gift shop, transportation and travel questions etc. You don't learn useless info. Stop by take the free 6 day course in how to learn french and pick up a few gems.
