I have could not imagine studying any language with out audio. In fact I think it is better to study courses that only use audio untill you get to a high level. I allways learn in this order. 1. Learn to understand what is said. 2. Learn how to reply to what is said to me. 3. Increase my vocabalry. 4. Learn to read. 5. Learn to write. 6. Build on the above. I think learning to speak should allways come first after all that is how children learn. Edited by lachat on 05 October 2009 at 4:12pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Would it be a bother to ask what materials you use for a dictionary, reading/listening, and grammar? I've been searching for a good grammar book in many bookstores to no avail, so finally I'm delving online in hopes of purchasing something useful.

I kind of agree, though many have learned languages without, especially in the past. But there are languages the pronunciation of which you learn quite easily and languages where it's more important. In the former case, you can learn pronunciation with some course or pronunciation guide with audio and then use a textbook without audio. In the latter case, I'd say audio is almost more important than textbook - and this is the typical case of an Italian learning French, like the OP.
I don't agree. Though I have taken as a habit to start with audio only. But it is a) impossible to find intermediate or advanced audio only programs; b) terribly inefficient.
Now you are opening a can of worms... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I would pick up Assimil French with ease and Ultimate French for courses. Once I have gone through those like crazy, I would go to LingQ to build up more of my vocabulary. This is what I am planning on doing when I start French.
