At last, a French CD course which requires no reading and which teaches you to actually speak and understand authentic conversational French in a minimum of time and effort.

great features and instruction!, June 2, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
I've tried other CD sets to learn French and this is the best! The CD's are multiple track and although each track is rather long, I simply use the fast forward button on my car's CD player to skip through parts I really know. At first it seemed strange to learn without written materials, but the results speak for themselves (no pun intended). I highly recommend this course.

These Are Wonderful Multiple Track CDs!!, May 24, 2004

Reviewer: prairie (Midwest)

Me and my car player loved these MULTIPLE TRACK French CDs. They're easy to understand and will teach you to speak French FAST. I learned so much French with this 8 CD set that I can speak more than my friend who was a French major in college. How 'bout them nanners?
The tracks are laid out thematically so that you can fast forward on the run, go back, etc ... Ideal for the car. No reading or dictionary required. Great native French speaker and fantastic instructor who speaks clear American English.
Don't be frightened away by those planted reviews that urge caution. I highly recommend this course and the quality of the recordings.
P.S. I suggest to those who get an error message on these quality CDs (see above) to buy a new player and keep the CDs. The CDs are Taiyo Yuden, the folks who invented CD technology and the world's leading producer of high quality CDs. I checked all this out before I bought my course.

Tr? Bien et Merci!, April 6, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
Many thanks or 'Merci Beaucoup' to Language Dynamics for coming up with Behind the Wheel French. A truly great course.
Friendly voices come at you in a non threatening way to teach you how to speak French while in your car, jogging, etc. ..
I really appreciated the natural, non grammatical approach and the native French speaker. I also liked the fact that the American instructor has an advanced degree in French and was rated as an excellent instructor by his university students. This level of expertise is evident in the CD presentation which is low key but extremely effective at getting one (me in this case) to speak and understand basic French.

I Highly Recommend This Course, March 18, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
I saw Mark (the founder of Language Dynamics) on Good Day New York on WYNW Fox 5 a few weeks ago. I was so impressed by his philosophy of language teaching (and his fluency in 5 languages) that I bought his 'Behind the Wheel French' 8 CD course. From the perspective of a New Yorker who spends time driving, (many of us don't) this course is a godsend. It is my opinion however, that you could learn French anywhere with this course, not just in your car.
Just like Mark said in his interview; Behind the Wheel French teaches you the building blocks of fluency in the language, not just a few canned phrases. Once you learn the basics from this course, you can pretty much learn on your own because you already speak the language.
About the production. My CDs and overall package was of the highest quality. The voices on the CDs have excellent diction and are crystal clear. I thank Fox 5 for presenting this excellent method and course to me and others in their segment 'Foreign Language Courses 101'.

Great Method and Content!!, March 5, 2004

Reviewer: steve (New York, NY)

The learning technique used in Behind the Wheel French is excellent. With this course I have learned useful French content for shopping, ordering food, and lots of numbers practice. What I consider most valuable is the foundation I received by learning to speak basic French sentences. I returned my Pimsleur French course because it lacked the content I needed on shopping, ordering food, etc ....
I am much more satisfied with Language Dynamic's Behind the Wheel French.

Fast, Easy, and Effective, January 31, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
As I evaluate my experience with Language Dynamics'
Behind the Wheel French CDs three words continually come to mind.
Fast, easy and effective.
As for fast, this course had me speaking my first sentences in French in the first session. Come on. This is an accomplishment. (especially for me)
As for easy, if I could understand it then anybody can, believe me.
As for effective, my French Canadian neighbor says she can understand me when I speak French to her now.
I may not sound eloquent here but I want to get the message across that I am not being political here. I just want to convey one message to you and that message is:
This course is great!!
