Last month I started a little French club with some of my younger children and some of their friends. For the record, I don't speak French even though I had years of it in starting in 6th grade in Canada and then through my sophmore year of college. Therefore, I'm not calling myself a teacher, I'm merely learning (or re-learning) alongside the kids.
We are using L'Art de Lire by Nallenart. The French Canadian bent suits me just fine. I figure as the kids get a little further along I'll add in Pimsleur and the accents will balance each other, and most hopefully of all, cancel out their Tennessee drawls.
So far the things I like:

So far the things I like:
- phonetic layout and presentation
- grammar within a story line context
- useful vocabulary
- easy to divide up daily work
- the audio track reinforces daily work
- almost no prep work required
I'm looking forward to seeing how the programs builds and grows.
