Search - Learn French with Victor on DVD

Useful for those who already know survival basics

"This DVD apparently reproduces a popular educational television program created several years ago, judging by the cars, computers, and the money - they still use francs instead of Euros. It is not designed for children or true beginners. There are no basics in this DVD. Conversations begin with no grammar instruction, and the pace is fast. There was no booklet in the DVD case, and the website link was not helpful. There was no English-French Glossary as advertised on the box. All that said, this is a nice series of conversations, and an interesting virtual visit to Paris. This is good supplemental material for someone who wants to improve listening and reading skills. If you have been using Rosetta Stone, this would be an excellent choice as a supplement for functional life situations. Pair this video with other products that give grammar instruction."

Glad It's Finally Available in America

"When we lived in France Victor was broadcast on TV. This series was a key part of our fairly successful effort to learn to communicate effectively in France. We have ordered this first issue to review the basics but hope the more advanced lessons will soon become available."
