I have the New French with Ease book and audio which is 113 lessons, so realistically if
I finished the passive wave all the way through I'd be around lesson 64 in the active wave. Would I be able to (or rather is there a reason to) just go straight into Using French while continuing the active wave of New French with Ease all the way up to lesson 113, or is there an active wave from the beginning of Using French that would make finishing the first book pointless? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

From what I remember, the first two weeks or so worth of lessons in Using French is at a slower or even rate than those at the end of NFWE.
With your Spanish knowledge, I'd say just continue up to 113 while also using Using French. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I was going to overlap the two by doing the active wave from French with Ease at
the same time as the passive wave as Using French, but found it much more useful to slow down and take my time with the active wave of the first book. It took me a lot more time than the "five minutes per lesson" that Assimil recommends. I started Using French] when I was almost finished. I never did an active wave with Using French. It uses a lot more idiomatic and literary language, and I wasn't sure it would be useful to try and recreate, say, a passage from Hugo. I enjoyed the course, for the most part, but one passive wave was enough. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I agree with kanewai - Using French is too idiomatic for an active wave to be
particularly useful. When I did it, I just intensively studied it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
