Also, Radio France International offers material helpful in learning or staying current in French, including a news broadcast each day in "easier French" with an accompanying text. Go to the following link and click on the tab "Langue Francaise" and follow the various leads to see what they offer (RFI has a webpage in English, as well as the one in French). Here's the link:

Last year I studied French at Alliance Francaise, a couple of months here in Toronto (not that much though,, as it was only 4 hours per week), and a month in Paris for 20 hours a week. But since I haven't practiced my French in 9 months, I'm forgotten almost half of the things I was taught.

Now, I know people are going to say a private tutor is better than French classes, and French classes are better than computer programs, but I don't have the $$$ for private tutoring and I'll be traveling throughout the summer, so I can't take any classes. That leaves me the option of buying a computer program. So far I've managed to find these programs:

Rosetta Stone's French
Complete French Learning Suite
Instant Immersion French
Auralog's Tell Me More French
FrenchNow!
Learn to Speak French

DOes anyone know anything about any of these programs? Which one would you recommend? I'm leaning towards Tell me More French, since it seems to have great reviews and is used in a couple of universities as well.

Thank you
