parlez vous francais?

I'm thinking I'd like to learn French. I know a bit of Spanish, German, and Japanese.. but almost no French. I have this bookmarked, and plan on watching them.. but I can't help but think, there must be a better, free resource. If you have any good recommendations on how to learn French, free or not, let me know. DVDs are more useful than programs, as my CD-Rom drive is not the best.
