Bonjour mesdames et messieurs!

Language has always been an interest of mine, and so I decided it would be an exciting endeavour to try to learn French. I've found a great way to start learning it in the car on my way to the office through the Pimsleur audio program. Today i've just completed my 10th unit (each unit is approx 30mins) and i've found that I can hold a basic conversation (albeit a lot of it seems to be about trying to pick up young french madamemouislles), asking the time, if they speak english, if they would like to have a drink (at my place). The thing that impresses me most about the program though, is how it teaches it to you so naturally and organically. I find often that without having to put in too much effort listening in the car, later on in the afternoon, I can find myself recreating the conversations in my head or throwing the phrases into my conversations with friends and family.
