The Keys to Successfully Learn French

1. You are having fun.
Research shows that when something is fun--you're playing, interacting, laughing--you're more likely to remember it because your brain is engaged. This is why we based our entire language-learning program around game-playing. Plus, when you know something is fun, it will keep you coming back again and again.

2. You are not overwhelmed.
We know the thought of learning a new language is overwhelming. This is why every one of our games can be completed in 10 minutes or less. Imagine your language-learning goal is a sandwich. You wouldn't cram it all in your mouth at once, would you? No. Sure, you'll finish it all, but one bite at a time.

3. You can fit it into your life.
We know you have a million things to do, and we recognize language learning is probably not the first thing on your to-do list (no matter how much we wish it was). This is why we give you a ton of different ways to learn, from computer games and audio lessons for your iPod to written activities in the workbook and interactive fun on your TV!

WHY LEARN FRENCH?

• French is the official language in 30 countries.
• France has 81 million visitors a year and is ranked as the best tourist destination in the world.
• Knowing basic French words and phrases before traveling to a French-speaking country will help you feel more at ease during your trip.
• French is a top-rated romantic language and is the second-most studied language after English.

VISITING FRANCE
France is the most visited country in the world. That’s probably because France has everything that you could ever want to see on a vacation: spectacular cities, good beaches, more monuments than any other country, beautiful natural areas and incredible mountain scenery. It is also a very pleasant place to stay because of its world-famous French cuisine and wine. Plus, France is full of people who love life! Perhaps the best thing about visiting France (apart from sightseeing in Paris), is being able to converse with French people in their native language.

Of course, Paris and its surrounding areas are some of the most visited places in France. With so much to see and do — from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre — during a vacation in Paris, asking Parisians for directions and getting recommendations from them is a must.

FRENCH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES
Don’t stop with just France; you can use your new French language skills across the globe! There are about 200 million French-speaking people worldwide, and French is the official language in 30 countries. For example, French is widely spoken in certain parts of Canada, like Québec and Montréal, and even Bayou Country in the Gulf Coast region of the United States.

Here are some of the basic French phrases that you will use often:

• C'est combien? (How much does it cost?)
• Où est la salle de bain? (Where is the bathroom?)
• À demain. (See you tomorrow.)
