Excellent, worth every cent ! The method is awsome, you'll really learn ! P.S: To Fluenz staff: may I suggest you guys to create a Danish Fluenz !? :)

This is a very good program, better than most self taught language courses. I like that Fluenz takes you right to the spot where you left off. I like the way new vocabulary is introduced and reintroduced in later lessons so you don't forget the previous words while learning new ones. The grammar interspersed with the exercises instead of a list of rules to learn makes it easy to learn the language structure The only thing I would change is, when trying to pronounce the words in a long sentence I wish the "backward build up" method would be used. I have found this to be an almost magic way of being able to master a difficult set of words. For those not familiar with this method, you start with pronouncing the last word in the sentence. Then you say the next to the last word and the last word again each time you add the next word until you have gotten to the beginning of the sentence. It is remarkable how the sentence seems to flow after you have done this. I wish in the pronunciation part of the exercises you do this. It is very helpful.

So far, the course has been very good. It is exactly as advertised and the lessons are well done. I have tried to keep going at a rate of 4 or 5 lessons biweekly. I am not yet ready to take on French speaking only but have learned enough to understand the writing ok. I am still planning to go to a French city where I can be immersed and try to become more able to communicate with French speakers.

Fluenz provides a dialogue with each practice and also includes a variety of new words and grammar along with review in a variety of exercises that support learning. Language acquisition is also supported with direct teaching and support on video clips inbedded in each lesson. Language acquisition is thankfully NOT immersion without instruction. Fluenz creators and instructors understand that Immersion is not effective in the context of a stand alone instruction program. Fluenz provides instruction and practice in careful measure. Thank you Fluenz!
