Fast Forward!
This feature will take you ahead of time to preview principles which are explained throughout a particular module of this course. Typically, this highlights grammar rules and principles of language structure. In this way, you will know what to expect from each module.
Rocket Audio!
Rocket Audio lets you hear how French is meant to sound. You can choose from over 3,000 individual audio tracks, and you can go through them one at a time or pick and choose areas that you particularly wish to work on. Just click on the word or phrase that you wish to hear. All words and phrases that numbered are audio tracks. For example, click on the phrase below: 19.11 Vous allez You are going Each audio track has the word or phrase pronounced in English first, so that you can have an attempt yourself at saying the word or phrase in French. After a short gap, the word or phrase is said in French so that you can check up on how well you did. Finally, after another short gap, during which time you can have another go at the pronunciation, the word or phrase is said again in French.
Action Replay!
This is a review of the material covered in each module so that you can practice with dialogue, expand your knowledge and have an easy reference to return to. Its a great way to review the topics covered in each Lesson plan.
The Activities!
Push through the fear of getting it wrong! The multi choice questions and activities in each of the three groups of Lesson Plans will help you get it right time after time, until it becomes second nature to you.
