I have used both tapes and the computer CDs and I really liked the computer CDs. With the tapes, my mind sometimes wandered because you're just listening and repeating. But with the computer it's an interactive program which really helps you learn much quicker. I understand the Rosetta Stone CDs are really intense and are used by Fortune 500 companies for quick immersion when sending executives to a foreign country. You can purchase them through your local bookstore or amazon.com. But there are cheaper sets out there. Also, this may sound a little silly but it helped me...purchase a French Word a Day calendar. I began to look forward to seeing what the new word of the day was. Good luck.

The best way is to practise regularly and with diversity. You don't have to spend a fortune on it either. If you have cable or satellite TV then watch French TV. You do not need to understand what they say. Leave it on as background sound so your ear gets used to it. Little by little without much effort you will start understanding what they say. You can also buy book, magazines and newspapers. Read them out loud to practise your pronunciation. At the beginning you feel really stupid doing that..but it works. There are tons of good website on the net for the rest. I wouldn't want to recommend any as it really is a question of preference and what you feel more comfortable with. Try going to sites that give you online exercises where you get the answers straight away. But the best way to learn French is to go to France.

The only way to get really good is to speak French fairly regularly with other people.
Sure there's any number of CD courses, books, software packages and websites, some of which can provide a great basis, but the only way to get fluent is actually to communicate verbally in the language, and establish those brain pathways that enable us to do the Language-thing.
Basically, trying to become really good at French without communicating face to face in it is like trying to become a concert pianist when you don't have a piano.
The best thing is to try and find a local class or french-speaking group, or even just one other person who is willing to help, or motivated to learn like yourself. Maybe even put a "Learning French?" free ad in a local newspaper or supermarket.
For reference websites, here's a couple I use myself:
http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/
http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/
And if you really want to come on, and you've got the resources to do it, spending a couple of weeks in France at the end of your 6 months will *seriously* speed up the progress.
Bonne chance!

Well if you're already in a class, I'd suggest getting French magazines and children's books to practise with. Of course you'd better have a good dictionary, Oxford or Cambridge is best!
Maybe your local cable channel has a French channel, that's a good option, you need to hear people speak it to become fluent yourself.
Write about yourself in French as practise.
And maybe a trip abroad could be your vacation goal.

Hm, not lots that i will think of of- perhaps cellists would have some recommendations, yet there is not lots you're able to do without the device. what's going to probably assist you the main is examining song concept. and that i'm guessing bass is in bass clef, yet while it is not, learn the clef! which will help lots. and that i could attempt to get conscious of a pair cello song, and classical song usually. an incredible cello piece is Elgar's cello concerto (there are not many cello concertos, yet there are some). you will likely like the 2d flow of Beethoven's seventh symphony sturdy luck!

Go to the BBC Languages site.

Try the BBC language section or www.byki.com - I can recommend both. The byki site is really good at teaching you vocabulary.
