I have a few copies the French Language Training Course bundle that was created by the U.S. State Department and the Foreign Service Institute. These are the same language programs used to train US Diplomats, Foreign Service Officers, CIA agents and other personnel of the US Government. These language systems have been around since the 60's-70's but still remain one of the most respected methods of language learning.

My uncle teaches French at a University and he gave me a bunch of these DVDs. He said that these are some of the best/most comprehensive language learning systems ever developed... if the student sits down and commits themselves. The foreign language department created all these DVDs for their students who wanted more practice. The department recently posted all the files up on their network so they no longer have any need for the DVDs. They were just going to throw them out so I asked if I could take them. 90% of the DVDs were never used and I inspect each one to make sure there are no scratches.

This DVD includes:

• French Basic Course (Main Course)

The French Basic course is the main language training course. It was originally developed by the US Government to train its personnel who operated overseas. The original text has been scanned into PDF form and the original cassettes have been converted into MP3 audio. It is considered to be one of the most comprehensive and most effective language learning methods. All the voices on the recording are of native-born French speakers, and the lessons are designed to help enable students to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations.

⁃ Volume 1: Lesson 1-12 - Includes 410 page instructional text and nearly 40 hours of accompanying audio (MP3).

⁃ Volume 2: Lessons 13-24 - Includes 575 page instructional text over 40 hours of accompanying audio (MP3).

Each lesson consists of:

Dialogue

Useful words

Vocabulary awareness
