Bonjourtalk Reviews 46

It is better and more practical to learn phrases that we are actually going to use instead of the way most people are taught. I am just starting to use the program but so far I like it.

I've just started the course after having studied at Alliance Francaise for some time. I am loving the different approach and making much better progress.

A refreshing approach to learning French. Good explanations as well as examples. Each lesson is relatively short, which I find helpful. Jumps right in to useful conversation. It may be a bit simplistic for those with some knowledge of French already, but I felt the new approach helped me learn better, even with past knowledge. I would like to have a list with each lesson of just the expressions and translations. They are provided in the lesson transcript, but a short list that grows with each subsequent lesson would be really helpful.

Good starting or refresher program. I find the phrases are more useful than a lot of other formal courses. Lots of add-ons and additional items for sale.

The Bonjour program is perfect for brushing up my French before visiting Montreal. I supplement it with Quebecois variations on YouTube videos to catch the differences in vocabulary.

Bonjourtalk has a very interesting way of teaching French. At first I might have been a little overwhelmed and as I moved through to exercise number 2 I began to understand this way of being taught. It made a lot of sense and I already feel more comfortable with some basic and important sentences. I’m sticking with it and looking forward to continued learning. I recommend Bonjourtalk to anyone stuck or even at the end of their current course. Try it and you’ll see a new way of understanding and speaking French.

J’adore ce cours pour l’instant. J’aime beaucoup l’attitude de l’instructeur. Il me donne de l’espoir!
I’m older with very rusty French and a tendency to freeze or mumble-stumble over my words. But pattern recognition takes me back to my classes with Mme. Glyda in grade school. I look forward to recovering and enhancing every day French. “Intellectual”French and those discussions will come later, I’m sure, as my comfort with simply speaking increases through this course.

I have just started my journey with BonjourTalk and I am already excited about this method for improving my ear and my pronunciation through conversational French. I have taken five semesters at a University level, which focus heavily on grammar, and now I am ready to communicate in French dans le monde réel avec mes amies françaises!

I love the idea of science based thinking and practicalities to provide a learning environment for different brains. Great concept and easily accessible.

Learning through “chunking” has been so much more useful than individual vocabulary words that you have to remember which to put together. These have been useful chunks as well - not just words that you may never end up saying to another person. I’m enjoying it immensely!

Really enjoying this course. So much more useful than the textbook French I have been learning. Recommend

This French course is really going to work for me. If you practise so that the phrases roll off your tongue, it stops the ‘freeze’ and you don’t have to think about tenses and grammar.
It’s quick and achievable.

After years of learning textbook French I felt totally defeated when speaking with friends in France. At the age of 88, I find rote memorization extremely difficult. I was terribly embarrassed when my friends insisted on speaking English in my presence. After several months experience with Bonjour talk I can easily fit into French conversations without the use of stilted memorized phrases. I do not consider myself fluent, but I fully expect to continue to improve with the help of Bonjourtalk.

Bonjour is a novel approach to learning a language. Not only do you get short phrases that are easy to learn, but the instructions give you a plan of how to think when you’re in a situation that requires responses.

I’m still early on in my experience with Bonjour Talk but I am confident that it is one more way of improving my French. I look forward to doing all the lessons and changing the four stars to five.

I've just really started with the program, and not fully versed on all that is available.
So far, I'm not happy not having audio with the program, to hear how words that are unfamiliar to me should sound. I can probably pay extra to the program to enable this, but I'm not looking to spend more $
I would also like an easy means of accessing the program, like an app that would instantly open the program.
I'm sure there are ways of fixing these problems I have, but I have not stumbled on them yet.

Only just got started, but so far so good!

The course outline was explained in great detail and once my payment was processed I received the material very promptly.
The course is practical and comprehensive. It is very clear and easy to follow, with daily video, worksheets and access to real-life situation stories.

It's a little early to give a comprehensive review of this course, but I like the way it has started. I like the novel approach and, even though I've never met him, I like Lucas's personality, demeanor and voice. This is not my first French course. I'm currently doing three other more traditional courses to get ready for a trip to France in October. Hopefully another few lessons will prove this method to be clearly superior. On we go.
