SmartFrench Reviewer's Comments

Smart French uses video clips to teach French. This program is actually an offline HTML webpage that runs through your browser. (You must have RealPlayer installed.)

Since this program operates with active content, antispyware programs and even Internet Explorer may interpret the program as a threat to your computer security and interfere, causing display problems.

There isn't much teaching involved; you simply watch a video clip and try and comprehend what is going on. This software is designed to test listening comprehension. You listen to several conversations in a number of locations. The sound quality is fine, but the video quality is amateur at best.

Smart French may be helpful to improve your French listening comprehension skills, but there are more comprehensive products that offer more for your money, including Tell Me More French Intelligent Solution.
