Critic reviews

Reviews of Paul Noble’s Language Institute courses:

“I'm utterly amazed by it. I can't recommend it highly enough."

“Really brilliant. It’s changed everything.”

“It was so relaxing. It was the first time I've ever tried studying a language where I didn't feel stressed at all. It was just what I needed – and probably what everyone else needs too. It just made the language seem so simple and easy to learn."

"The course was so interesting; it was amazing how the language was pulled apart and then put together again by us ourselves, so that we can actually now leave and speak German."

“I did ‘O’ Level French at school and spent several holidays in France but could never really say much beyond bonjour and merci. Now, I can make up my own sentences and actually communicate what I want to say. The course was so confidence-building that I actually can’t shut up speaking the language. It made it easy to talk and, importantly, to go on learning more afterwards. Fabuleux!”

“Simply amazing. I would recommend Paul Noble to anyone and everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or you have a basic working knowledge already."

“It contrasts dramatically with other experiences I've had of trying to learn foreign languages. I feel I've learnt more in the past two days than I had in the previous two years.”

Great for adults, too!!

I love the author’s teaching style and method. It really worked for me. It totally clicked to learn this way.

Great for Slower Adults, Too!

This was a fantastic course for me, a beginner in their 4th decade of life. I've been using Duolingo every day for the last 3 months but something about the AI voices make it difficult to really feel accomplished and like I'm really learning French, especially for hoping to speak it with real people someday. Paul Noble's audiobook helped me to feel like I could intentionally build sentences in multiple variations all on my own. The pace was slow enough, and with just enough repetition that I was able to fly through the lessons while washing dishes and feel really good about my progress without the "rewind of shame" that I usually go through with such couses.

I've never been very good at learning languages even though I've had years of formal lessons in Spanish and Japanese, and I was really daunted by French because I'm such an aural learner (and the language doesn't allow pronunciation of many of its letters!), but I was very successful with this course and have built enough confidence to continue with eager curiosity instead of my usual sense of grudging persistence. I'm getting a bit emotional as I write this because I just can't tell you what a gift that is. I've always wanted to be a person who can speak even one other (if not multiple) languages, but I've never really thought it was in the cards for me because I am always great with memorizing individual words, but terrible with forming thoughts and sentences in another language; after listening to this audiobook I genuinely think that my luck may be starting to change. I am so grateful for this feeling and I hope that everyone will share in it when they try this book.

I’m finally learning French

After a year of apps, books, and tutors, Paul’s approach is finally helping me to understand the French language. I’m a fan! Thanks, Paul.

Great for mom's too!

I started going through the adult french course, but realized I didn't have any need to book a room or reserve a table in French in America and will not be going to France anytime soon, which is what the adult course focused on and other such things for the first three hours. Then I saw the kids french course and wondered if it'd be more applicable to me... it was! I'm a mom of three, and let me tell you, this is a kid's AND Mom's french course! You talk about wants, needs, family, and family applicable stuff. I'm into this course 2 hours worth and am having so much more fun, because I actually relate to what I'm learning and I can actual use it with my kids. I give this 10 stars!!!! So easy, makes so much sense, and no memorization of a long list of rules and exceptions. Just easy fun, with each chapter 5-10 minutes long!

Very good for kids

Short lessons that build on each other. Great for kids, easy for adults. I recommend it to anyone beginning French.
