« Je tu jure qu’après six semaines avec Tandem et Lingvist, et deux ans avec Rosetta Stone que entre ces Apps on peut bien améliorer son français. 45 minutes chaque jours avec Lingvist j’apprends 20 mots et du grammaire par jours. 735 mots il y a quelque semaine je touche 1200 aujourd’hui. Avec Tandem’ ces des conversations “synchro” ou “asynchronous” avec des autres étudiantes. On peut rapidement trouver quelqu’un français qui envie de parler anglais. C’est un peut Comme Twitter, ou comme Skype, comme on le voudrais. Rosetta Stone est superbe pour la prononciation. Je peut la démo ça ces Mercredis. » I really have tried everything over the years. Taught French at school for the best part of 7 years all I mange-disque was a C Grade O’Level. I tried living there and working there, one to one lessons with a teacher, Rosetta Stone and even a degree with The OU. Finally though I have two complementary platforms that are advanced enough and smart enough to work. Lingvist simply plugs away at my ability to remember words - this includes defining verbs in context. Answers can be written or spoken. There are more formal grammar, sayings and so on set as optional ‘challenges’. Tandem is like a WhatsApp or Skype. I understand it works like a dating App. You set a profile. Look at the profile of other people then make a start. The deal is simple: they want fluency in English, whilst I want fluency in French. Six weeks in I can tell you that it works.
