Hi all, just wondering if anyone can answer this question
In the next month ill be finishing new french with ease and was wondering if it would be beneficial To move onto using french or just start working with fsi french as I hear that will be a long haul to the finish line. I'm also currently in a first year university french course and I've completed Michel Thomas basic set - 8 CDs. Any advice would be great! Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It depends :)
As you've done MT and are taking formal classes, your grammar should be reasonably good so it might be better to go for the vocabulary and idioms in Assimil. FSI is available for free though, so you can use it selectively as needed, to drill specific grammar points. That said, especially past the beginner level what matters more are not the resources but the techniques you use. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

FSI is a super long haul - I found it's best to use it intermingled with other courses.
As in, I'll do FSI until I hit a wall, then move on to another course, any other course, then come back to FSI and push on a bit further. Each FSI lesson, at least for French, is designed to be part of a 30 to 40 hour study week (class time plus homework plus the drills). It's kind of hard to put that much time into just doing the drills that are online, and so it's very easy to get ahead of the plan. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I appreciate the input guys - I should also note the french course is introductory as I want to build a solid base
going forward and I think these courses will ensure that with my self studying will continue to build and round out my knowledge 2 persons have voted this message useful |
