I highly recommend using both. If you get too stressed out trying to maintain a routine with each, you might also using one as your main study tool, and the other for more casual practice (just work with the audio a few times, read through it don't worry about remembering everything). This will allow you to re-encounter vocabulary in new contexts and review certain grammar points without much stress.

I used New French with Ease, French Without Toil, and Using French simultaneously. It does get to be a bit much when there are multiple waves going in NFWE and FWT at the same time. I didn't do "active waves", but I would use the "active wave" as a review wave. For me, using multiple Assimil courses was good for variety. I can see the benefit of focusing on one course at a time too. I'm also a believer in continuing to review the courses and continuing to other resources and native materials as you progress. Over time, the Assimil courses get less time and weight, but as long as you feel you are still getting value from using the courses, it's a signpost of your progress. What was once challenging becomes easy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I looked at French without Toil and it seems like the earlier lessons are slightly more difficult to understand in terms of question and statement order. For example: They teach avons-nous nous-avons inversion form without touching on est-ce que. Is this a more modern way of speaking and writing?
