This is by far the best "learn French on your own time" system I've ever encountered. I'm a fluent, high-intermediate learner of French, and I find even the beginner lessons useful for tips on pronunciation or little grammatical points that I missed or forgot. The format is interesting and effective. Definitely 5 stars plus! Johanna Skoreyko, U.S.
I've been studying French through a variety of methods for years, all the time searching for the unbeatable combination that would offer me the opportunity to both hear and read contemporary French about a wide and current span of topics. Your podcasts have changed my life and my listening comprehension has improved 100%. Keep them coming! Ray Allen, U.S.
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 others 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! Bruce Kerr, Canada
What a great learning tool this is! I listen to the podcast a few times, then study the lesson guide, and listen to the podcast again. I am making my way through them all and know that my French listening and speaking skills are improving. When I started listening I had a reasonable level of comprehension of written French. However, had no way to really practice my oral comprehension with a known context. I am finding that my retention of new words and expressions is much improved, learning with these real life dialogues. My sense of accomplishment keeps me listening. Great job LFBP! Sarah Ly, Canada
I'm at last learning usable French! I've been learning from books for many years, passed 'O' level... but was still mute in France. I've started LFBP from Beginners and have learnt from every lesson. What a relief!… Derek Reeves, U.K.
Hi. Thanks so much for your program! It is the best one I've come across...! It's very informative and the conversations are carefully chosen. The PDF Guides are also very helpful. Jennifer Li, U.K.
I think your method of teaching is excellent. Like many of your subscribers I have been trying to learn French on and off for years with no luck. I now feel confident after only a few months... by the end of this year I am confident I will be fluent in French. Thank you very much! Are you planning a German course in the near future? Just to let you know I would be very interested... John Bell, U.K.
Only 2 weeks after joining, I really believe LFBP is one of the best ways to really improve one's pronunciation and oral comprehension. As an advanced intermediate student who has also lived in France, I especially like that it highlights commonly spoken/used phrases - more colloquial that what one usually gets in the standard French classes. Terrific job!! Mary Jean Cuaycong, U.S.A.
I have just purchased my first set of lessons at the intermediate level and find the quality of your product excellent. This is surely the most comprehensive method of learning any language. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you for all your help. James Ritchie, Canada
The materials are excellent, Hugh, truly very well done... I can honestly say that I have learned as much French in the last 4 weeks as i did in 6 years of school. I am well on my way to speaking reasonable french... Thank you very much! Paul Birkett, U.S.A.
Hi, I just wanted to say what a great website this is! I'm really enjoying the podcasts and the excellent PDF guides! Although I am only a 'beginner' at learning French, I think I'm making some real progress, with your help. Keep up the good work! Chris Rolfe, Australia
You guys provide by far the best and most informative French lessons I've found on the net. The lessons are topical and informative and the PDF guides provide a great backup to the audio. Keep up the great work!! Heather Warner, Australia
The best French lessons I have ever come across and I know as I lived in Paris for five years and I attended a lot of French classes while I was there. I wish I had discovered this site earlier. Po Chan, South Korea
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, U.K.
I've subscribed to different online French lessons and Learn French By Podcast is far and away the best. The lesson guides are extremely well done and informative and the podcasts are always interesting and fun. Merci! Jocel Dumlao, U.S.A.
I have been studying French all my life. This is the best audio lesson source I have ever found. I'm understanding more verb conjugations than I have ever been able to before. I just subscribed to the lesson guides. They're really terrific, too. Thank you! Keep up the great work. Janet Stead. Washago, Ontario.
