Multilingual Books FSI French Course
(Now available in a Digital Edition (MP3/PDF)!)
Four levels are available to lead you to mastery of French. Once completed you will be able to understand spoken and written French; it will also allow you to actively engage in conversations with an abundant vocabulary of several thousand words. This is a modern course, revised by Monique Cossard and the FSI staff. It follows a format of learning, practice and progress at your own pace, which is standard to these courses. For beginning students, the twenty-four units are designed for a six-month intensive training program of six hours of work per day, plus outside preparation. Each unit presents a situational topic introduced in a dialogue, and usually five grammar points. Each grammar point is preceded by grammar notes which generally are expressed in non-technical terms. Planned in four volumes, the French Basic Course was designed to help students reach a level of proficiency which will enable them to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations. The complete course comes with four books and 101 CDs. And now FSI French is available in a Digital Edition on CD-ROM, with the recordings in MP3 audio files and the text in PDF format!

French Courses


An audio course is perhaps the best language teacher you will ever have, because you are in control. You can make it repeat itself at any moment, turn it off when you don't feel like listening to it, take it with you in your car, and make it teach you when you have the free time. We have audio courses for everybody, from two-cassette to 32-cassette courses. If you need any help deciding which one is right for you, please e-mail us at info@101language.com.

Pimsleur Bookchips for Comprehensive French
Bookchips are compact digital memory cards that can hold five, ten, fifteen hours of spoken audio or more. A single Bookchip - not much larger than a postage stamp - can hold entire audiobooks that would traditionally require a half-dozen to a dozen compact discs or cassettes. Bookchips work on many desktop computers, laptops, other handheld PDA devices and mobile Smartphones with SD memory card slots. Bookchips move seamlessly from device to device, remembering your listening position each time. With Bookchips, it's easy to pick up from where you left off the day before, or skip to any chapter you like. Not only do Bookchips hold hours and hours of high-quality digital audio, they are rugged and reliable. Bookchips are completely electronic, and can be played by devices without any spinning or moving parts - which means Bookchips never skip! Bookchips are much easier to travel or exercise with than cassette or compact discs... and lighter, too. Pimsleur Comprehensive courses come with 30 lessons for each level, normally on 16 CDs. Bookchips for Pimsleur Comprehensive levels I, II, and III are available for for French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese.

Accelerated Learning Language Course for French
The Accelerated Learning method is a rich, multi-sensory "theater of the mind." All of your senses are involved so that learning a foreign language becomes as easy as your mother tongue. As children we all learned to speak not just by listening but by seeing and doing. By imitating sounds, copying our parents' actions and associating the sounds with the actions speaking came naturally. With Accelerated Learning you learn your new language - Spanish, French, German or Italian - in exactly the same way that you learned your first language. Based on research from diverse experts in the field of education and psychology - from Bulgarian Georgi Lozanov who pioneered the use of Baroque music, to Howard Gardner of Harvard with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences - Accelerated Learning home study courses provide a wide variety of physical, visual and auditory stimulation. Because your whole brain is involved learning becomes faster, more enjoyable and much more effective. Each foreign language course contains the revolutionary physical learning DVD and booklet, 12 CDs (each 60 minutes long), text book with memory maps, the "name game", and a series of word cards and games.

Street French 1 through 3
The Best of French Slang and more!
The first in the series is Street French 1; The Best of French Slang: Even after years of trying to learn French, you still have trouble conversing with a native speaker. Why? Because everyday French is filled with slang and colloquialisms. This fun guide is the first in a series of books that teach how to speak and understand the real language used daily on the street, in homes, offices, stores, and among family and friends. Entertaining dialogues, word games and drills, crossword puzzles, word searches, and will have you sounding like a native in a flash.
This is continued with Street French 2; The Best of French Idioms: This fully-illustrated guide explores yet another inside language that must be mastered in order to be considered truly fluent in French: idioms - those quaint and quirky expressions are impossible to understand literally (like "You're pulling my leg!") but are used in any conversation between native speakers. This book is packed with word games, dialogues using idioms, crossword puzzles, find-a-word grids, and special tips guaranteed to make you au jus ("up-to-date" or, literally, "juiced up") before you know it!
And finally, there is Street French 3; The Best of Naughty French: This is the first step-by-step guide of its kind to explore the most common curses, crude terms, and obscenities used in France. This entertaining book is designed to help you understand the rudest taxi drivers, the most impertinent salespeople, and even the author's Aunt Mimi! Chapters include: Dating Slang, Non-vulgar/Vulgar Insults & Put-downs, Name-Calling, Body Parts in Slang, Sexual Slang, Bodily Functions, Sounds & Smells, plus the many uses of Merde, & Foutre.
