The program is structured into several modules, as well as numerous supplementary study aids and audio files. The modules consist of collections of PowerPoint files. This week I’ve worked through the first module, a collection of four PowerPoint files on alphabet, pronunciation, and gender. The PP files are cleverly assembled from appropriate graphics, transitions, and audio. I have found these very effective in helping me to understand both the unique sounds of the French language as well as in developing a sense of the unique cadence of French.
I find that even at this point, maximizing the material means trusting in the method. One must trust that this teacher really knows what he’s talking about as not everything makes perfect sense at the outset–some of it only becomes clearer with progress.
