Critic Reviews

Review of Paul Noble Method by The City Magazine:

“Relaxing and listening to the CDs, I found that I seemed to absorb the phrases taught, without even consciously trying, and quickly felt confident enough to play around with the different components and make my own sentences.”

Reviews of Collins French with Paul Noble by Amazon customers:

"We both have a basic grasp of the relevant languages but this course is helping to improve our speaking ability better than all the previous attempts we have made. Try it."

"The language is explained in a simple way and the teacher doesn't use complex grammar terms… Instead the teacher more or less just leads you into French so that you find you can more or less start speaking it just a couple of hours in. For me though the absolute best thing about it is that it has allowed me to speak in full, proper sentences in French… A fantastic course and a well deserved 5 stars!"

"At last an easy way to learn a language!

Easy to understand plus an easy one to pop into the car cd player and use on the move, so no more 'I haven't the time… A lot more entertaining than text books and the old fashioned way of learning a different language other than the mother tongue. '"

"Overall, the method being used is superb and I feel it more or less guarantees that someone will be speaking French by the end. This is what has happened to me – and for the first time!"

Best absolute beginner French audiobook

Any additional comments?

I cannot recommend this highly enough for beginner French learners. I had never learned French before starting with Paul French's audiobooks but have since used a lot of different podcast/audiobooks. For me, Paul French's method has been by far the best. The techniques he uses means that the language actually stays in your memory i.e. learn it, forget it, then remember it again. I also found his tricks for remembering vocab really helpful. He's a bit like Michel Thomas but less haphazard and without the annoying "students"
