Learn French in the car would be the name of the CD to buy if you have a car and want to learn French. Penton Overseas is said to have a good set of 9CD’s.
yet again I can imagine you don’t want to spend too much money to start with, because you need to know if studying French in the car really works for you.
For me it works perfectly as I only have to switch on a French channel and I can practice my French listening skills on the go.
this of course isn’t that inviting for beginners so for people that are starting out I have 3 suggestions:
1. Buy the cheapest Learn French in the car CD you can find.
Go to your better bookstore and buy a CD that says: Learn French in the car.
These kind of courses are especially made to be used without a textbook, which means that you can listen to what is said and are given time to repeat. I can hear you thinking: "but then I am buying a CD that’s half empty and on top of that they will be speaking my language and the French language.
Both true 
the CD’s I have listened to so far have an English instructor introducing you on the CD how to listen and learn French in your car:
- they read a French phrase and ask you to repeat
- they read an English phrase, ask you to translate, give you a pause to do so, then only give their French translation and again give you a pause so you can repeat their French phrase.
It’s a real effective parrot kind of way to effectively learn French in the car..
2. Learn French in the car with music
Go to your music shop and ask for French music CD’s. Go and listen to the CD’s before you buy them for 3 reasons:
- do you like what you hear? (what you don’t like will never teach you French!)
- does the French music come with the lyrics (otherwise it will be a pain to really understand what they are saying in French, unless you have a high level of the French language already
- can you sing along with the French song having the lyrics in hand? If not, you need to find a singer that sings slower (rappers most likely talk way too fast in French…)
