Pimsleur French Level 2: Learn to Speak, Understand, and Read French with Pimsleur Language Programs

Can learning another language be as easy as speaking your own? Yes amp;mdash; with Pimsleur it's that easy. Learn on your own time, at your own pace, and wherever you choose.

French Level 2 includes 15 hours of spoken language practice and one additional hour of reading instruction and is designed to be used after completing level one.

In the first 10 lessons of level two, you begin to use the past tense. Structures become more complex, and informal speech is introduced. Conversations become fuller, and learners are able to discuss business and social activities, manage shopping situations, and express their interests. As you progress, vocabulary is expanded, and fluency increases.

The next 10 lessons of level two allow you to further combine and build upon known elements and produce longer and more complex sentences. You learn to bargain with shopkeepers, deal with business situations, get and give medical information, and discuss the weather.

In the final 10 lessons of level two, you've doubled your vocabulary and have several hundred structures to draw upon. You'll gain experience asking for assistance, finding a location that is some distance away, and using relative structures amp;mdash; faster, slower, etc. Sports and leisure activities are explored as well as shopping, changing money, and future travel plans. By the end of level two, you're speaking at a mid-intermediate level with near-native pronunciation, and you are comfortable meeting most social demands and limited job requirements.
