Learn French for Beginners

Wonderful podcast with excellent professor. A few complaints: 1) you cannot skip ahead or rewind the podcasts once you begin one; however, you can pause if need be. 2) random noisy ads sometimes appear and disrupt the podcast. 3) "practical" conversational lessons (such as ordering in restaurants, asking questions, etc) doesn't begin until about lesson 10. Overall, though, extremely helpful app with good pronunciation and grammar tips.

This podcast is actually really good, listening and repeating is the fastest way to acquire a language without the added stress of reading and writing. There are just a couple of things that should be added as basic app stuff: 1. The ability to see what has been listened to. Even if it is just a tick on the icon. 2. The ability for each track to remember where you are. Those 2 things and you're golden.

This is one of the best ways to learn French. Mark is a great teacher! However, with the app, I think the lessons should be more specifically labeled, eg: "lesson 29: Weather" instead of just "lesson 29." It would also be helpful if each lesson was marked showing whether you have listened to it already or not. Sometimes I can't remember the last one I heard. Other than that I absolutely love these apps!
