I had to unsubscribe from this podcast because only 0.1% of this podcast is language language content and the language learning content is not professional. I would say the same thing for the other pod101 and class101 podcasts

Je suis Vwolf. J’étudie français. J’aime le chocolat et le livres. J’adore mes animals de compagnie et ma famille!

Avec tout le respect au monde pour votre podcast excellent, Je suis tout à fait d’accord avec la revue précédente . Gardez la traduction anglais visuellement afin de faciliter la compréhension , mais en revanche éviter l’orale en anglais. Ça ruine la cadence du français et l’anglais n’est pas nécessaire si on peut lire la traduction

Really nice podcast, can’t believe the bad reviews because of Sams ethnic voice you can tell it’s scripted but a certain group of people will always remain. I’ve been learning sentences now though and find it useful to just listen to the podcast

The podcast was just a sales pitch

This is hands down one of the funniest podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I’m like 5 years late to the game but starting with their first podcast available and going oldest to newest. I took French in high school and a little college and at 38 want to brush up on it. I am doing the French Rosetta Stone but was looking for a podcast or two I could supplement with. Silva I think her name is the woman has the funniest comments. I have been laughing out loud throughout the first few podcasts. I do feel like this is supplementing a little and I love listening to it!

This is the best series out there ! They do such a wonderful in all their languages! I love the real life scenarios and the fun and often humorous vibe! Great job! Merci.

I'm at intermediate or maybe upper intermediate level and have found the lessons to be good. I like Sam because I too want to know "why" - it helps me understand and apply what I've learned. Celine could be nicer to him.

What happened to the lesson notes? They are no longer available when taping the album art. Nowadays it just refers you to the website.

As I visited their website, they send me an email that they offer some package for only 1 dollor for month. But their website is too complicated and the podcast itself didn't really help me out. And now they charge me 23$ per month and never answer for my email to get refund. This podcast is waste of my time and money. I recommand the other podcast "CoffeeBreak French". It is simpler and better. And don't send you huge spam mail for payments.

Disappointed there was no video on this video podcast.

I don't mean to be rude but this IS a language podcast and I find the guys lisp far too distracting in each lesson.

I used to see the notes but they are no longer in itunes. I want my service back. Iphone turning bad after Steve Jobs?

I'm using this in conjunction with another method and find that it gives me a good mix of approaches to learning french.

This is the first time I learn with pictures, after Michele Thomas method. شكراً

But I was wondering why they still speak in English in intermediate level.

I downloaded some frenchpod101 audios a while back to sample and thought they great. Came back for more today and now it's all video and I get the message won't play on this iPod. BooHoo! Why did you change it????

Even though, I am a Haitian I understand this podcast pretty good. I speak two languages English/creole. I want to learn a third language so I can be a master at this.

I love this podcast- espically the videos, they help me soooooo much.I just started learning French over the summer and Im already speaking a little bit of it! Get this podcast!

I think the Absolute Beginners podcasts are usefull to help me in my French. I am taking it in school, and the vocab review is great. And Eric and Virginie are funny!

These were great and I loved listening to them until "Season 2" when the only thing that posted were Newbie lessons. As a teacher of primarily upper-level classes, the Newbie lessons don't work so well for my class and I certainly don't enjoy them as much. :(

Sam is annoying, and distracts from the lessons. He's sarcastic, bored and not funny, and he interrupts and irritates Celine, the instructor. He's like the kid in class who won't sit still or shut up. Moreover, he has an annoying accent. Is he from New Jersey? If it wasn't for him, I could get into the lessons. The French teachers, on the other hand, are great and do a terrific job. I could give you 5 stars were it not for the village idiot who plays host. Someone like Peter on JapanesePod101 would make FrenchPod101 really shine.

There's some good French in there, but Sam, the American host, is a bit awkward and they do these weird falsettos for women's and children's voices in the dialogue which drive me nuts. It's good language practice if you can grin and bear it though.

This seems like a really great way to start learning French, but I wish the PDFs were free. It's absolutely essential that I see the words in front of me to really learn anything with this podcast. Why don't you make other features like Guided Learning, etc. for paid subscribers only but at least have a transcription of each podcast for free? Then I'll actually be able to use this great resource.

This podcast provides very good listening practice for the newbie. I really appreciate that because some podcasts don't really have conversations, just vocabulary, and some have listening practice that is just too advanced for the newbie. Thanks, guys!

Excellent podcast. The lesson are entertaining and informative. I highly recommend this podcast.
