Tailor-Made Approach Emphasizing French Culture and Context
For the reason that language is much extra than an endless set of words and pictures, the Fluenz team starts together with their passion for France and all things French. Since "immersion" approaches focus exclusively on the pairing of words and pictures, they can't propose explanations of any kind and are ultimately forced into ignoring the culture behind the language. Fluenz French, however, takes you on a tour of French culture as you study. By making sense of this historic and elegant language, learners actually study it.

Starting together with clear explanations in English and following together with widespread workouts, Fluenz builds steadily from necessary structures like questions and commands ("How much is it?"

For the reason that this cannot be learned throughout passive memorization, Fluenz thoroughly covers verbs by explaining how they work and by getting plenty of practice to do sure you can use them when you really want to.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Smart Approach to French   2010-08-04
By Java R. (Austin, TX)
After working with Fluenz Spanish a few years ago I decided to give Fluenz French a try. At that time I found that Fluenz and Rosetta were very different products and that essentially their approaches were best suited to different parts of the learning process.
My experience with Fluenz French has confirmed many of the opinions I had regarding Fluenz Spanish, but I can also say that the product has been improved since I last used it.
The basics for Fluenz French are very solid. The program dissects the French language for the benefit of English speakers, offering a great roadmap to learners. Each session provides a building block in which the words and structures are clearly explained in relation to the overall scheme of French, but also in relation to English. This makes the learning process truly intuitive. The sequence in which elements are presented made a lot of sense in a way that was practical, which helps as you start to grasp the language.
The teachers are top quality. Sonia, from the first two levels, I already knew from my Spanish course. She is very good at explaining how something works, and providing plenty of tips on how to make it useful in one's own conversation. Her comments are funny and informative. Caroline is not only very French, which is a plus in for someone who is learning the language, but her French is as beautiful as advertised.
The workouts continue to be essential, and their workings have been much improved since I last tried the program. From the bookmark function which tells me where I left off last time I used the program, to small improvements on the typing, the way corrections are now shown, and other details, there is clear evidence of a company that cares.
Overall I can say that Fluenz continues to have a very good answer to the question of how someone can get to understand a language on their own--instead of memorizing phrases and words. I find French to be more difficult to learn than Spanish both in its pronunciation, its phonetic rules, and its grammar. Things are just not as straight forward, which is exactly why an approach that takes its time explaining the foundations and which guides learners through the many challenges can really make a difference.

I purchased Fluenz hoping to brush up on my French. The format was ok; the tutors actually speak to you (which could be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of learner you are). I also liked the variety of exercises after each lesson - I just wish they were more challenging and less repetitive. Perhaps if they release Fluenz 4 + 5 I will consider trying it again.

If you're unsure, I would recommend buying from the actual fluenz website - they give you 100% of your money back. I didn't realize that amazon would only give me 50% of a $400+ item that I barely used.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RTJL1ZOMZKVHM Fluenz is the only way to learn French the right way!

Fluenz French level 3 is currently only sold in a bundle and isn't available as a standalone set yet. Luckily, I purchased Fluenz 1 and 2 a year ago and the folks at Fluenz have been nothing but generous. When F2 was released they offered me the upgrade at a very affordable price. Version 2 came with some nice enhancements such as the ability to install the software to your desktop, new navigation options, etc. Naturally, the same was done when Fluenz 3 was released and I received an email that level 3 had become available. I just received my copy over the weekend and my review is here to help anyone who is looking into learning a new language, not sure what brand to try, don't want to be bothered with learning from a text book, debating if one should buy Fluenz, etc.

In level 3 of Fluenz French, Sonia Gill (Interactive Tutor) of French 1 and 2 is no more. Instead, the audience is now introduced to a new tutor by the name of, Caroline Janin who was born in France. I have to say that her accent is impeccable and only helps one with their pronunciation in capturing that oh so romantic sound that is so French. Once again, the program is setup with thirty lessons to choose from. Three of the lessons are only review sessions and do not contain a conversation, followed by the tutor breaking down the conversation and teaching you sentence structure, conjugation, etc. I felt a bit robbed that there were three review sessions because I do love the learning sessions with the interactive tutor and hearing her speak is like soaking up knowledge in a sponge. However, I knew this was going to be the case because the prior 2 levels were setup the same way. When I say interactive tutor, I mean there is a video of the tutor breaking down a conversation that was just played while teaching a lesson. It doesn't mean that if one has a question that one can type in a question or ask the tutor to say a sentence in French and expect to get a response. That isn't the case.

Caroline was born in France and that's probably why she breaks down the lessons in a more detailed way. She'll not just explain why something is feminine or masculine, but she'll also go into depth with the different endings, pronunciation, when to make a liaison, and so much more. This was apparent in level 1 and 2, but I feel its so much more hands on in level 3 then it was on prior levels. When you enter each lesson you get the option of hearing the conversation with French subtitles, French and English Subtitles, and if you want to be bold there is a third option of no subtitles. Afterwards, the tutor breaks down the conversation word by word and teaches you little tidbits when introducing new verbs and so forth. She also helps with sentence structure and lets you know if the noun comes first, should the verb come first, or if adjectives come before nouns, etc. For anyone who has learned French, everyone knows that when you translate a sentence from French to English, word for word, that you will end up sounding like Yoda from Stars Wars. English: I feel good. French to English Translation: I good feel.

One of the best highlights about Fluenz 3 is that each lesson with the tutor is always over ten minutes. There were many videos on here that were close to being seventeen minutes. I love this. I can watch a thirty minute video of the tutor teaching and it wouldn't bother me. In fact, I wish all the videos were twenty plus minutes. Once she is done with the lesson, one gets the opportunity to review everything that was taught with review lessons built into the program that consist of recording your voice to hear how one sounds when speaking French from what was just taught, matching sentences, typing words out in French when its written in English, and so forth. You can do each review as many times as you'd like and can always go back at your leisure. I only have 2 gripes. One flaw about the program is that you can only run it from your hard drive 5 or 10 tens before you have to pop in the CD for the program to work. This is for verification reasons and I understand where Fluenz is coming from because they only want the actual consumer who made the purchase to use the program and protect their software from encountering any piracy issues etc. So if you thought you were gonna buy the program, install it on your hard drive, and lend it to a friend to keep, or sell it online - THINK AGAIN! If you are going to lend it to a friend, you better pray they live next door. The other problem I have is the price tag. Purchasing all 3 CDs at once can be half of someone's rent money, so I do wish it was a bit cheaper.

Level 3 takes upon what was taught in the past 2 levels and enhances it to the next plateau. I love level 3 because it gets in depth with grammar and sentence structure and even adds some character to the dialogue, so one doesn't sound so robotic, such as: How are you? I am good. What is the weather like? It's bad. I am a college student and needed so much help with French because the professor was only free to teach when class was in session. This program has been such a life saved and I truly adore its intuitive and instinctual style of teaching and learning.

Get ready to expand ones vocabulary and say things that one has always wanted to say, but in French. Pick up your copy and Fluenz and brace yourself for a realm of romance, history, class, and so much more.

Pros:
- Ability to install CD program directly to your PC Hard drive
- Excellent new tutor
- Finally starts getting in depth with sentence structure and grammar (Pass compose, superlative, past, present tense, etc)
- Intuitive program
- Easy setup
- 27 lessons
- 3 review lessons
- Easy navigation
- Fluenz CD included podcast to add to your iPod/MP3 player

Cons:
- Can only run from PC alone for 5/10 times before popping in the CD for verification
- Price tag is a bit on the hefty side and I wish it was priced a bit lower
- Where is Fluenz French 4,5,6,7,8...?
