It's official: the VerbCast is finally complete. All 20 programmes are now available on the iTunes Music Store. You can access the entire series in iTunes by clicking here.
The VerbCast covers all regular and 20 common irregular verbs in the present, perfect, imperfect and future tenses and uses innovative relaxation and visualisation techniques. The VerbCast was piloted by a group of students from various PiE schools. The students listened to daily episodes of the VerbCast and completed activities and assignments using the latest text messaging technologies.
Thanks to everyone who got involved with the VerbCast. If you were involved in the pilot programmes, post your comments here. Remember you can also vote for the VerbCast on Podcast Alley (though I'm still waiting for that to filter through!) I'll update as soon as I know anything.
For anyone who doesn't have broadband, there's a lower quality version available too.
For all those considering downloading the Verbcast, do it and do it now!It is really worthwhile and I have gained so much through taking part in the pilot project. I am extrememly fortunate that I was given the opportunity to take part in such a new innovative way of learning!

Thanks so much for all of the hard work. This is a terrific way to learn French verbs. I am trying to learn French again on my own here in Virginia in the United States, but there aren't many people to speak to!
Your programs are my favorites in the car and on my iPod. They are very effective and I wanted to thank you for sharing them. Regards

I am a 66-year-old retiree living in Seattle. I spend several months a year in France and try to improve my language skills as much as I can between trips. Your verbcasts are amazing. Keep up the project. Thank you again.

This is a Wonderful language learning resource. I wish something like this had been available when I was at school. :-) The piecasts are very interesting and informative. I am doing a beginners French course with the Open University, and this is an excellent addition to the course. The verbcasts are really good for learning and consolidating my knowledge of conjugating french verbs.
