PDF transcript does not match the audio

Revisado: 01-09-21

So far not so good. Some of the conversations are forced; and some of the topics are useless, for example Pest Control, Picking Mushrooms. The English translation appeared to be done using Reverso or Google translate.

The PDF transcript for the Audible book does not match audio. The purpose of a transcript is to help you associate sounds with the word to improve comprehension. The first discrepancies are seen in the very first story "Commander une pizza". In Lue's third line he says "Pour ce qui est des anchois..." but the accompanying text says "S'agissant des anchois...". Sometimes the small noises the French speaker makes ( uh, oh ) are excluded from the transcript.

It appears neither the Kindle nor the Audible version of this book was reviewed for mistakes. Language learners should not have to research and edit material they've purchased in order for it to be useful.

Should have gone through one more round of editing

What disappointed you about Power French Verbs I (English and French Edition)?

I'm an intermediate level student. I struggle with recalling verbs, nouns I already know when speaking. This book seemed like a good choice to use for practicing recall and speaking.Unfortunately there are sever problems with this audio book1. It is poorly edited or structured. Listeners are asked to repeat phrases using verbs that have not been presented. In the very beginning your asked to conjugate the verb Etre and then the following sentences are all around the verb Aller.2. Although I was looking to push myself to recall words faster the book does not provide enough time after the English instructions for students to try an answer before the French response.3. The amount of time given for students to repeat and or practice what they've heard is too short or nonexistent. But what worse is that the time is inconsistent.

Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Frobose again?

I was optimistic about the book and so I purchased bother Power Verbs 1 and 2. So I will listen to Power Verbs 2 in hopes that they've done a better job.
