"As a retired school principal,..."
"As a retired school principal, I find that your pdf guides are based on sound educational principles. The explanations are thorough. The additional vocabulary and exercises connect well to the podcasts and everything is presented in such an attractive and professional manner. You really thought things through before starting this venture and this sets you apart from those amateurs who are trying to do the same. You really know what you are doing and it shows in the quality of your podcasts and your support materials. Merci and félicitations!"

"May I remark on the excellence of your Podcast. The clarity & tone of Amélie's voice and pronunciation when coupled, Hugh, with your explanations & PDF guides are superb. It must take a great deal of thought and care to produce, but, it is appreciated. With thanks and best wishes, Anthony Palmer"

"I'm from south korea. I've been learning French for few years. But still had so many difficulties with conversation. I've downloaded some podcast lessons and just signed up for PDFs. I'm in Lyon, France, to study French. It helps me so much. I want to say thank you so much for providing these amazing lessons for foreigners like me who are eager to learn French..."

"I like your new site and great..."
"I like your new site and great to see photos of you all. It's always good to put a face to a voice, stops you imagining someone completely different! I think LFBP is excellent and beats the competition hands down. It has certainly helped my French. What I like most is that the topics are always very relevant with 'natural' up-to-date vocabulary and idiomatic usage. (I no longer want to know "where the station or post office is"!!!) It's the French I want to speak and I'm finding myself well able to, thanks to your help. Continuez!"
Carolyn Russell

"I just came back from France a..."
"I just came back from France a month ago and I must say that, among quite a few visits, it was by far the most enjoyable one. For the past few months I've been listening to your podcast, adding useful and practical expressions up to what I already knew. It's amazing how much more fun it can be when one feels comfortable when speaking the language and is able to really interact and mix with the locals. Congratulations on the new site! Keep up the hard work!"
David Díaz
"I am enjoying your LFBP..."
"I am enjoying your LFBP podcasts and printed lessons very much. I live where French is rarely spoken (North Carolina) and the podcasts give me the opportunity to hear the language on a regular basis."

"I'll surely write again, but..."
"I'll surely write again, but if I don't do it now, I'll never do it. I just want to say that your podcasts are amazing. They've helped my French improve so much. I live in Montreal and even with six years of high school French, I was unable to communicate because of all the colloquial expressions and phrases of dialogue. But, thanks to your podcasts, I have learned many useful things and continue to learn daily. Thank you.

"Hi Hugh and Amelie: I am an..."
"Hi Hugh and Amelie: I am an intermediate speaker. I studied french in grade school because I am Canadian by birth, so there has always been a strong base. Since coming to the United States though, immersion has been difficult, and many of the learn-french-quick programs seem to be aimed at familiarity with the language rather than fluency in it. Your programs have been a "renaissance" for me. The range of lessons you offer are very helpful; you tend to move on, with recaps to earlier stages at precisely the best times. I am thoroughly enjoying your podcasts; I am studying daily again, and my French is improving very quickly. Whatever your secret, keep it up. Camus' l'Étranger is a breeze for me now (I love his insistence on the passé composé). Please keep up this wonderful program.

"I absolutely love your..."
"I absolutely love your lessons! They are perfect for someone who is accustomed to learning languages and wants to dive right in and be able to develop conversational skills quickly. I plan my first trip to France in the fall and am using your program as my primary tool to learn French before I go. I'm confident that your program will give me a greater level of competence than if I had started with a more traditional grammatically-oriented program. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you. Thanks ever so much!! Vicki

"Your podcasts are great. I..."
"Your podcasts are great. I filled up my new i-pod Shuffle with them and listen to them over and over. I've been trying to pass the French language requirements here in Quebec and I am sure your podcasts will be of great help. Thanks."
Ann Vine
"I am so happy to have found..."
"I am so happy to have found your veritable treasure-trove of lessons. I studied French all throughout University, but only did moderately well, leaving with a decent ability to speak, read and write. However, since that time when I have tried to use my French in job situations, I have found that I've been lacking; I'm out of practice. LFBP is perfect for me. I have a base from which to work so it is easy for me to quickly refresh and reinforce what I already know, and shed light on those things I never resolved in school ... By practicing with you I can continue to nurture my french abilities. You both are so enjoyable to listen to, and I love the efficiency of your lessons. I find the organic flow of your lessons one of the most attractive and distinctive features of LFBP. This style of constructing the lessons encourages one to just dive in and keep exploring; and it is the exploratory attitude that facilitates learning. "Learn French By Podcast" is a new kind of institution. These classes are portable, fun, personable, flexible, organic and efficient. I very much enjoy learning with you. Thank you for your service."
Milosh Rodic
"What a great find! I have..."
"What a great find! I have tried so many times to get my French past the intermediate level, and have always failed with the grammar books or tapes. This time I started from the first beginner lesson Podcast, and that is ensuring that all my old foundations are really solid, and my confidence level is now huge. I particularly enjoy the PDFs, and absolutely love the brief written exercises with the answers. Now I know that when I reach your advanced lessons, all of it (writing, speaking, listening and reading) will be strong. Thanks a million!"
Heather Ohlin
"I think your podcasts are..."
"I think your podcasts are brilliant. I listen to them on my commute to work and am feeling much more confident about an upcoming trip to Normandy."
Eoin O'Conaire
"Your program is excellent... I..."
"Your program is excellent... I had worked my way up to intermediate when I was younger. (Born in Canada where French was a part of the curriculum - Quebecois of course - Parisians love to make fun). Your program was a great way to get back into French. Your setup is perfect; your talk-through approach is stellar. One question: any chance you might add more advanced courses to your line-up? You've done such a great job, I'm ready for some tougher stuff now and then."
Roy Vallis
"Your new lesson format of..."
"Your new lesson format of "beginner", "intermediate" and "advanced" is an excellent idea. I have been studying French for years but I always learn something new from the "beginner" lesson. This format leaves no francophile without an opportunity to learn French via your podcast."
Jim Layton
"I was delighted to find this..."
"I was delighted to find this course after months of searching.. It is well structured and uses relevant vocabulary and situations. I would strongly recommend it to those looking to expand their vocabulary and understanding of the French language."
Philip George
"I'll be letting my..."
"I'll be letting my subscription lapse for awhile, only because I still have a backlog of about forty lessons to study. When I catch up, I will renew without hesitation. This is certainly the most economical, and perhaps the best-structured, combination of podcast/pdf study guide available in either Spanish or French, and I salute the creators for a job well done. I look forward to the series of advanced lessons."
Stephen Worboys
"Your lessons are not only..."
"Your lessons are not only detailed and practical, but extremely good value for money. I'm very impressed and glad people like you guys are operating. I learned French through school and college but never really wanted to learn the language until now, and your lessons are really helping me reconnect with the French language in advance of living in French-speaking countries, which is my next step. Merci beaucoup!"
Steve Burke
"I am doing a bachelor in..."
"I am doing a bachelor in languages, externally, and having your podcasts makes it all so much easier to understand the ways of French expression. Thank you."
Charles Hew
"Your lessons are outstanding,..."
"Your lessons are outstanding, particularly in the way they bring out so many points of grammar and expression so expeditiously. The PDF guides are indispensible."

"My name is Laura and I´m a student of English and French at Heidelberg University in Germany. I just wanted to say that I really enjoy listening to your podcast. Especially because I can listen to the both languages I'm studying (English and French) at the same time. Your choice of topics is brilliant. Your podcast has helped me in various every-day situations. Two thumbs up!"
Laura Strohmann
"Hello Hugh and Amelie! I am..."
"Hello Hugh and Amelie! I am enjoying your lessons very much and my friends in my French Conversation group say that my skills have improved dramatically since I started with your podcasts! Thanks again for such high quality lessons and I hope you folks keep doing this for a long time!"
