First of all, go ahead and buy both packs of cards, you won't be disappointed. I've reviewed the cards in general on the Pack 1 site (5 stars!), but wanted to say that these cards are just as impressive as the first set. Even if you speak no French at all, you can just jump in and start learning from the moment you open the cards. I think it's brilliant how the game was designed. The word on each card is not translated on that card you get points not only for making sentences, but also for translating the sentences. However, the translation of the word is somewhere at the bottom of another card in the deck. As you play, you will get better and better at knowing what each word means. I've had some French classes in high school and college and been to France twice. My daughter knows no French. However, we are able to play the game together very well. There are plenty of words I don't know, and she's quite fast at picking up the vocabulary. A great game for the whole family!

My husband and I purchased Decks 3 & 4 (actually, both packs including Decks 1 & 2) without knowing if we would enjoy this game. Not a very expensive risk but still a risk because we did not see it in our local stores or knew of any friends who owned them so that we could try the game out first.
We had a blast! It was a little challenging at first since we are very new to french but now we realize how much we have learned when days later we are remembering the words from playing the game. They stick in your brain! I should add that the words on the cards are useful and are needed for everyday language which is very important to us.
I highly recommend this game to anyone new to the language and needing a fun and interesting way to learn.
