French in Action

A lot of comments say that these videos are hard to use because only French is spoken. It should be noted that for a new learner, they must, not surprisingly, be watched in sequence starting with the first. You learn more and more as you go along.

Also, note that there is a series of audio cassettes and a whole textbook that go along with the videos. When I took French in college, we used all of them, and I learned a lot in only a year.

Finally, I agree that the videos are worth watching just to see the 80's scenes filmed in Paris, and to watch the lovely Valérie Allain. See her fully naked in the 1987 movie, Aria!
