I currently have made a commitment to learning French. I always seem to come back to this language. I believe it is due to the fact that I am a second career librarian. While Spanish is practical for my profession, I believe that French is a good point to start due to its rich literary tradition. I plan to learn Spanish after I reach a high-intermediate level of French.
I am going to be using French in Action as my primary study tool. I would like to know if others here could recommend the following methods: 1. Learning French by Podcast and/or 2. Frenchpod101 I have subscriptions for both of them (but not premium subscriptions). There is so much content with each of these podcast based courses and it does seem that Frenchpod101 is more flexible and fun. Any comments would be appreciated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Regarding Frenchpod101 - The advanced audio blogs are nice. The Upper intermediate lessons are great; the
couple who do it have real chemistry and are a lot of fun. Sam(American) in the lower intermediate is an idiot. His speech is always a little slurred, and he throws things like "you hate Americans, don't you" at his French co-hosts on a regular basis. Painful to listen to some times, but still loaded with good content. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've enjoyed FrenchPod.com quite a bit. The site has a good number of lessons, good verity and excellent content. Assimil is a must for French learners.

thanks for the comments - and I know that Assimil is important; I have it but tried to see if anything else was good as well

You might try dailyfrenchpod.com. They seem to have more free content.

Learn French by Podcasts has great intermediate and advanced
podcasts. A little dry, but lots of great content. I hate daily french pod. It's really weird. They take like one fairly complicated sentence, and spend the whole podcast explaining it piece by piece (in English if I recall). It's frustrating, and feels like you accomplish very little for sitting through that whole podcast. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

If the goal is french litterature, this book using practical flashcardwsque activities teach all the bacis french you
need to be able to skim trough books in French. In the end the examples are as ‹hard› as Sartre and Votaire. It has only the goal of teachin one to read and to regocnize but not to write, speak, or listen-comprehension. However, if one can read french so-so, the other might be easier to pick up and the first one easy tom maintain. French for Reading Author: Karl C. Sandberg and Eddison C.
