The writing exercise is a really useful thing and I am glad you find your classes good.
Alter Ego is among the best class aimed courses, even though I found there a few bugs typical of such courses anyways. Such courses are, in my opinion, meant to require supplements = more money spent in the bookshop. If you've got a good teacher, it might work nicely. How many students are in the group, if I may be so curious? :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi Cavesa. Five students so far although I'm told they don't run them without at least 6 so maybe another one at
least will show up next week. As of the second lesson, I am revising up my rating of my own accent in comparison (fraught, to rate yourself I know), I think I'm better than all of them and sound more natural when I speak - I put this down to all the one on one iTalki exposure to natives. It's fine and at least the Facebook-based exercise in the first chapter was up to date and realistic. Anything to do with current technology or culture is often embarrassingly out of date. I taught ESL for years so am very aware a lot of these books are less than perfect. The other book set I've been using is Connexions 1 and 2 in my Skype class and I think Alter Ego is better than that. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Yes, I remember Connexions, I used to use the 2 and 3. I never liked it. I found most of
the common classroom aimed course mistakes there. But still better than Panorama that had been popular before Connexions. Alter Ego is better and, probably the best thing about it, the series aims to give you the base from 0 up to C1. Well, perhaps the sixth will not show up in the end and the school won't find the heart to send five people (and five wallets) away :-) Usually the fewer the better. Yeah, those "modern techonology" chapters tend to be hilarious. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi redflag,
Good work on joining up with AF! I'm sure you will get some benefit from it. Although I did it for a semester and mostly got annoyed, and yearned for more independent learning again with materials of my choice (the pull back to my courses grew ever stronger), I did get something out of it- more exposure to French (listening, speaking)! It will help I'm sure, good luck with it! PM 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I AM BACK. I'm sure everyone's been really holding their breathe. Life stuff knocked me
off my language learning for a while - maybe for the best. Re-starting this weekend. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi redflag,
I haven't seen you on the .org site, are you still out there learning French somewhere? PM 1 person has voted this message useful |
