French is a romance language, originating from Latin. With 70 million native speakers, it is
spoken in France, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland. Although there are fragmentary records of
an early version of French starting as early as the 9th century, the first significant literature
product is the Chanson de Roland written around 1200. It is one of the most commonly
studied languages in the world, until recently it has been the sole language of diplomacy.
With this software package, you will not just learn to speak, but you will also
learn the necessary skills to be on your way to fluency. The package consists of two
software titles: Beginners and Everyday French.
The first of the two software titles was designed to help beginners learn
the basics, focusing on sounds, tones, phonics, alphabets and
the basic vocabulary used in everyday conversations. It builds your
knowledge of the fundamentals through lessons that gradually increase in difficulty. Before you
know it, you will be already able to speak and read the language.
The Everyday title, the second part of the series, is intended to provide you with
maximum exposure to the language. It helps you increase your
working vocabulary by presenting it in a wide range of situations. Unlike in the Beginners
title, you are encouraged to select the lessons that best suit your needs. With this software package,
learning to speak and read is as simple as pointing, clicking, and listening.
