I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good program to learn FRENCH? I have always
been interested but once I started reading reviews it didn't sound all that great.. I'm
looking to fully learn the language, if I need to use additional resources that's fine
as well.
I did french immersion in high so I do have a basic understanding, but I really have
trouble with verbs and conjugating.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

If you do a google search on this forum, you will find a lot of discussion of these programs.

I have actually but unfortunately I can't find any
recent posts so I was wondering if certain programs that may have been useless years
ago have improved?

All of these programs are considered high quality.
Michel Thomas is great for grammar so maybe you should try that first.

If you were in French immersion in high school then you must be pretty good at speaking and listening so the more
audio based programs will likely not be too useful. No one in Canada speaks like in an Assimil lesson (nor in
France really). For grammar I liked the Living Language Ultimate package which contains grammar exercises in
each of 40 chapters plus review exercises. Also, the Schaums French Grammar book has more exercises than you
will ever need for verb conjugation.
