Following the critically acclaimed success of Dublin, this riveting sequel takes the story of Ireland from the 17th century onwards, picking up at the Reformation, and with it the devastating arrival of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell heralds the inauguration of 200 years of Protestant dominance, throughout which many of the Irish people were impoverished and dispossessed. Dublin is made a Protestant capital, and Catholics become an underclass. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Irish political history, this powerful saga is brought to its conclusion.

Summary
With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will learn in a way that suits you – without having to memorise long lists of words you won’t use; scribbling notes as you listen; or feeling frustrated. Instead, Paul will introduce you to the basics of the French language and guide you through over 12 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.
Whatever your experience with languages, whether you’re an absolute beginner or someone with basic knowledge who wants to improve their ability, this is the course to get you speaking French quickly, confidently, and with no chance of failure.
A native-speaking French expert will help you to perfect your pronunciation as you progress through the course. You will learn a huge range of vocabulary in no time at all, and be able to quickly make your new knowledge work for you in a variety of everyday scenarios. A downloadable booklet is also included to use as a reference and revision tool.
Paul Noble left school unable to speak a language – having found that the traditional learning methods left him feeling ‘confused, incapable and unable to really say anything’. Determined that there must be a better way to learn, Paul spent years devising his own unique method of learning languages which cuts out all the grammar, all the memorisation, and all the stress. He began using his method to teach in his Language Institute and, thousands of students later, he prides himself on never having had a student fail.
This download contains the entire course – Parts 1, 2, and 3. To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Next Steps in French with Paul Noble for Intermediate Learners – Complete Course.

I was so surprised at how well I picked this up!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. I wasn't convinced about audiobooks to learn languages, but this proved me wrong within the first 30 minutes. Brilliant!
What other book might you compare Learn French with Paul Noble: Complete Course: French Made Easy with Your Personal Language Coach to, and why?
Other language courses, although I haven't tried any yet. This will give you the confidence to try something a bit more advanced, as it gives you a great grounding in the basic of French speaking.
Have you listened to any of Paul Noble’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not yet. Going to do Italian next!
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I wouldn't bother... That would be just weird.
Any additional comments?

Great way to learn French but no irregular future
I wasn't a complete beginner but I still found this audio recording very useful. I liked the mix of English explanation and French examples. I love rules and the author was good at explaining the theory behind each of the French grammatical constructs.
He explores the shared linguistic history of English and French, which is not only interesting, but is a useful tool to help remember the French. E.g.He explains that for the past tense for some verbs (generally seen as action verbs) the French use Je suis (e.g. je suis arrivé, I am arrived) rather than J'ai (j'ai arrivé, I have arrived). He explains that this is something that English used to do and gives some examples. (e.g. in Shakespeare) I was able to think of an example myself "Unto us a child is born" (not "has been" born) which has not cemented that fact in my brain.
Just got to near to the end and am a little disappointed. He tackles the future (I will, he will etc) and starts with the regular which is understandable because they are easier.
But then instead of doing the irregular, it is just numbers, letters and revision. Unfortunately, it is the irregular future verbs, I will be, I will go, I will do and I will have ...etc that I think are the most useful. I really wanted to practise those. There is also no past imperfect but can forgive that.
I don't think it is therefore "complete"

Really outstanding: shockingly good!
What about Paul Noble’s performance did you like?
Very well crafted course.
Any additional comments?
I have a crummy Grade C in O Level that is 35 years old and yet, having gone through half of this course so far, I can express quite complex sentences and understand a huge amount. I have shocked my family with the occasional erudite sentence that I spout effortlessly at the dinner table - and put my kids, who used to be way ahead of me and would mock me for my rubbish French - to shame! The joy! If you thought you couldn't learn French, give this course a try - extremely well designed and executed. Thanks Paul!

Excellently designed and presented course
Where does Learn French with Paul Noble: Complete Course: French Made Easy with Your Personal Language Coach rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a much better designed and presented course than the Michel Thomas version. Paul Noble uses a French speaker, so you hear the correct French pronunciation of words rather than non French people trying to speak the language. Paul Noble's explanations are also clearer and more memorable.
What other book might you compare Learn French with Paul Noble: Complete Course: French Made Easy with Your Personal Language Coach to, and why?
The Michel Thomas's course uses the same approach
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Paul Noble's explanation of how to conjugate and pronounce the future verb tense
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is far too long and needs to be listened to in bite sized chunks.
Any additional comments?
Clearest and best explained French course we have heard. Also great to listen to just before re visiting France.

Brilliant Grammar Drill
This very thorough and intensive course really put me through my paces, which is what I wanted. The course works through a non-stop series of drills, which are led and explained very slowly and clearly by Paul Noble, at a pace which is relaxed, yet persistent. Although there is very little use of grammatical terms, I feel that the course is very grammar-focussed, a big positive for me. The course nevertheless also covers a range of communicative situations.

This is learn French?
There's only about 5 minutes of actual french learning. If I wanted to know the French history, I would research it (which I have already previously). I'm very disappointed. It's also badly done with many seconds of silence. I'm so glad I did not pay for this drivel. Don't waste your time, effort or money. Duolingo gives you more than this crap. For it being entitled "beginner", I would have expected it to start off with the literal beginnings: learning to say hello, colours and introducing yourself. My advice: rename to "Brief History of the French Language"; it's a lot less misleading and more appropriate.

Excellent way to learn
excellent, makes sense and easy enough to follow without feeling lost. Def a great way to learn a language. I will be running through it again now I have finished to see how much I retained. Feeling confident. Thank you.

Excellent. Use this first before Rosetta Stone
Paul Noble does an amazing job making French structure and grammar easy to understand, learn, and retain. I had been using Rosetta Stone, but found myself lost on structure. I then used Paul Noble's French and I had so many "a- ha, now I get it!" moments that I paused Rosetta and will finish Noble first. Amazing job. A definite must if yo want to learn French essentials.

Great language learning tips and drills!
I almost didn't get this because I am more at an intermediate level than a beginner level, but I'm so glad I did. It has great tips for remembering how and why certain things are done in French, that are making it much easier for me to use the language! And there were great practice sessions on the the things I needed more practice on, such as the placement of pronouns in a sentence. There are also practice sessions at the end without the explanations that are good for review or for more advanced learners. I'm not sure how this would have worked for me if I had been a beginner but it was a great program for me.

Great Introductory Course to French
Firstly, I loved this complete course. Paul Noble's teaching method is VERY similar to Michele Thomas (for those of you familiar with his teachings) and very effective in the same way - It's essentially "listen & repeat" throughout the entire course, but also comes with a very useful PDF download that I would suggest adding to your space repetition method, ie: Anki deck to help remember what you've learned.
I started learning French using Pimsleur, which was effective in the same way, but I found it very boring and couldn't continue. This course really came in where that left off and I found no problem following the chapters without getting bored.
A few of the reviews are giving this a bad rating because of the similarities to the Michele Thomas courses, which is ridiculous. If anything, they should give a great review because of that!
Thanks for reading, everyone!

A smart approach to French you can actually learn!
Fantastique! I studied French decades ago in college and spoke well, yet lost everything due to lack of practice. What's more, it was always a strain to understand the logic of French or to discern predictable patterns that jump-started my vocabulary and understanding. This course changes that! I am *VERY* impressed with the simple, memorable explanations and the "building blocks" approach – so different from other courses. Within a few lessons I was sounding confident and actually understanding what was going on...caught myself laughing at myself and thinking "I can't believe I just said that!" Excellent and highly recommended.

So helpful
I’ve messed around with learning French as an adult numerous times and this program has been the most helpful to me. The building block style of teaching, explanations and repetition enabled me to finally get over a few hurdles that have confounded me in the past.

Tons of material, simply explained!
Paul Noble does a wonderful job of explaining difficult language concepts simply, so that, by the end of the course, I had learned the basics of three French tenses without frustration. No long vocabulary lists. Instead, this focuses on how to put sentences together. I was surprised and pleased with how quickly and easily the material came. Highly recommend for those beginning to learn French!

An excellent way to learn
I have taken French in the past, but this course gives me hope that I will be able to actually come away with useful knowledge. Paul Noble does an excellent job with the narration and the material is presented in a way that is really making the concepts stick. I never thought I had a prayer at becoming multilingual before now. I highly recommend this book to anyone who thought language-learning was impossible!

Well-paced and thorough
Just 30 minutes every day in my car was a great way to get comfortable with the beginnings of the French language. I’m excited to go to the next level!

full sentences in French very fast.
to fast for full sentences. slowing it down drags the English to long. and often go right into the next thing without be able to think to much about it. understand this is part of the way he wants you to learn it. but I find myself stuck for words like it's right there but I can't quite remember unless I listen to the chapter 3-4 times.
none of this is deal-breakers but having your phone on hand is a must to pause it or go back. I try to keep this to a minimum and short.
