Yeah, I hadn't mentioned progressive just becuse it isn't a course per se.
Sounds awesome. Is the 3rd edition much different from the previous ones? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Unfortunately, I don’t have a second edition to compare it with, but the third edition has numerous articles that were written after 2012, from various publications such as Francoscope and Le Monde. I was originally going to steer clear of it as the FIA videos are very basic. The additional course content is quite advanced relative to the associated lesson . They use tenses like the subjunctive, imperfect and conditional which aren’t taught until the second half of the course .

Thanks, DaraghM. That is actually a very valuable piece of information no matter you
didn't compare the editions side by side. It kind of breaks the myth of the FIA being only basic and being too old and outdated. Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful |
