Ready to Learn

I have begun examining the learning package that I received in the mail some time ago. The package includes an audio CD which will be great for me to play in the car each day as I have a 20 minute drive to work. It also includes numerous audio-visual oriented power point lessons as well as both MS word, and PDF materials. Once I have a closer look I will post a list of the contents. I have however, given the materials a cursory look and the program immediately strikes me as a unique approach that pays special attention to helping learners to master French pronounciation.

More on the program soon, and then I will begin my 112 day countdown!

Can You Learn to Speak French in 112 Days?

I plan to return to Canada from the USA in 2 to 4 years. When I do, I’d like to be able to meet whatever bilingual requirements may exist for any job that I might apply for. Robert Fontaine, a teacher of French in Canada, has provided me with a program to try out. He has taught many civil servants French and has brought them to the high level of written, and spoken, fluency required by the Canadian Federal Government. I will specifically be following his “Learn to Speak French in 112 Days,” program. Once I receive the program and begin studying, I will post my progress on this site.

If you wish to check out Robert Fontaine’s materials, visit his “French KISS,” site. “KISS,” stands for “Keep it Simple S’il-vous-plait.”
