Reddit reviews Assimil French Pack : book + 4 audio CD 's [ French for English speakers ] (With Ease) (French and English Edition)

Amazon or their website. I believe it'd be cheaper on Amazon. Unfortunately, their website is quite user unfriendly for a website designed for language learning (it's only in French.)

Here's the link to their website one. It costs you 70 dollars on their website while it costs you 63 dollars on Amazon. Unless you buy it from another source where it drops down to 54 dollars. I believe somebody once told me you can find the audio online for Assimil French, so if you can find that, then you can just buy the book only, which would lower costs down a lot.

Interestingly enough, Assimil actually has a course on Ancient Greek, Latin, and Egyptian hieroglyphics so once you learn French, you can always have fun exploring that :P

As for Rosetta Stone, I don't think it's bad, I think it's ridiculously expensive for what you're getting. I know that for Chinese, it's absolutely terrible (I had some friends try to learn mandarin using it and they had barely improved when I found them after finishing RS Levels 1-3.) For the price of 200 dollars, it seems like RS only promises to get you somewhere around B1-B2 as well, and given what I've heard, Rosetta Stone in actuality after finishing all the way through level 5 gets you only to A2, maybe to B1 which would put you around the same level as other programs such as Assimil, except it's much more expensive. Once you get to B1 though, it's quite easy in my opinion to advance, as you can finally consume some native content.

Not sure if this if only for Prime but I searched for Assimil on a lark (I'd like to get my sister the Yiddish course) and they have a really good deal on French for English speakers right now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/2700518136/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499731209&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3AAssimil&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=51N5CwKAIiL&ref=plSrch

Definitely look into Assimil. It's one of the more renowned language learning systems. I really like the German version.

And it's actually a French company, so I'm guessing the French version is the best thing they have going.

It's a little pricy, but you can generally buy the CD and the book cheaper seperately. Just make sure the editions match if you go this route.

I guess they sold out of it already.

Here's the Amazon link.
