Summary

Dear French language student,

Mastering French Conversation by Dr. Brians Languages is based on the highly acclaimed language learning program developed by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) for US Government personnel in the 1940s. The training enabled professionals to live and work in a foreign country.

The FSI approach is straightforward: You learn how to speak French by speaking French. Mastering French Conversation allows the complete beginner to do exactly that.

The FSI-inspired Guided Imitation drills provide staged conversations. These staged conversations are performed exclusively in French. You hear statements and questions in French, understand them, and then formulate a response in French. In this way, you learn to think in French. You are preparing for live conversations on the streets of Paris.

Mastering French Conversation is an updated version of the original FSI course. The drills have been completely modernized, rewritten, and re-recorded.

This program is likely the most intensive and demanding audio self-help program available. If you really want to master French conversation, this course is for you.

In this course, we will cover: 1) Definite Articles: le, la, l' 2) Subject Pronouns: je, tu, elle, il, on, nous, vous, elles, ils 3) Question Forms: est-ce que, intonation and inversion 4) The verb 'être'

For course details, see our website.

We wish you the very best,

Scott & Dr. Annette Brians

Excellent for anyone struggling to speak French

I am at an "intermediate" level. I can read , write, do dictations, but I'm still lacking in confidence as far as speaking goes. I decided to add this to my existing resources, and I'm glad that I did. I figured out how it all fits together prior to consulting the downloadable transcript, which is a thorough resource, with clear explanations and lots of vocabulary. I wanted to go through it quickly so as to decide on its usefulness. A complete beginner would benefit from using the pause button, which I will have to use at some stage in the follow on courses in the series. Yes, there are lots of theories about the best way to learn to speak a language, however this involves repetition and it's my preferred method.
