Anyone know any good online French Language tutorials?
I am looking for an online sight that provides audio. Ideally I would like to be able to do a search and look up pronunciation. Free would be nice too!

My husband borrowed Pimsleur's CDs from the library -- they have an excellent reputation and are quite expensive to buy, but that's one of the best. When we went to Paris his conversational French came in very handy, and he learned a lot.

Here's the link I was thinking of
http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/french/index.shtml
They have a lot of interesting stuff on there, including audio files of common phrases. Not sure if that's what you want, but I don't think you will find an online audio version of every word in a dictionary.
The about.com website has a very good series of language articles, also (not only French), including some summaries about pronunciation, I think.
Here is the link I found on their site for resources on audio. I'm actually quite impressed with everything they've got, and it looks like there is a complete audio dictionary on there, even if the word count is clearly not as much as a real dictionary (which would be around 50-70K words).

Try www.frenchtutorial.com
I bookmarked it for future reference but have not really had time yet to look into it that closely.
Hope this helps.

Hi letour! I want to see what your website looked like (if it was real French talking for ex) and when I clicked on the video it said "Due to licensing agreements, viewing of the video French in Action - Physical Characteristics II is restricted to network connections in the United States and Canada. Your connection appears to be based outside this area."
it is unfair!
now what about the other ones...

I mostly listen to French music radios or English ones to improve my poor English...
there are a few here from all over the world :

If you're fluent in French try "Rire et Chansons" with comic performers.

hi 11OP
I am heading off to the Bellevue on Rue de Turbigo(sp?)
Starting to worry about the distance from st. Germain, Latin quarter. I am going to be there during a train strike. I hate not having a sense of central Paris, also most hotels are booked.
Do you have any reassuring words for me (worried face with praying hands here(if I knew how to create)
