Pros

Free package a little bloated with promotion

Conclusion
Comprehensive series, very professionally recorded and edited, starting at the very basic and progressing to intermediate. Excellent. Highly commended.

Further Comments
A highly produced package, professionally presented and the audio is free.
Presenters are based in the UK, and they have quite thick accents in English, but French accents sound pretty good. Mark, the presenter, is a self-confessed grammar nut, but he breaks down the rules into simple and clear examples.

I like the fact that a student is also recorded during the presentation. This allows for student/teacher interaction without sounding stilted.

Lessons are about 20min, but contain a fair bit of padding. It gets a little repetitive having the add-on products advertised often, but knowing these are available is important.

Paid extras - Lesson guides; Enhanced podcasts; Bonus listening materials; Abridged versions of episodes (skipping intro and ending); Wordlists; Exercises; No ads.

I came across this audio podcast through iTunes, but you can also find it on the web at coffeebreakfrench.com
