Is there new material in the new course?
Wondering if I should swap or carry on with the infinite play on the original one.

My instinct would be swap - I haven’t tested the new French one, but I know we’ve made huge strides in the last few months, and there will definitely be new material because we did a very significant rewrite of the seed sentences after our 10 data in Ireland

Cool. I’ll give it a whirl. I’ve really enjoyed this course and eager for more!

We’ll also have extra listening stuff in French fairly soon - and then although it’ll be a little longer, we’ve got a ‘wider vocabulary’ listening approach coming which I think is going to be a game-changer - and I’m dying to get my teeth into it for French as well

Ooo! That’ll be fantastic!
I’ve started the new course which has introduced the informal version of ‘you’ so I’m already hitting new material. It’s also so satisfying to find the white and yellow belt absurdly easy now compared to a year ago. Going to be using the advance button quite liberally I think.

Hi Aran, congrats on all the fab language additions in the online testing app. Had a play around with Croatian the other day and realised it’s 20 years ago I started learning it. I was happily impressed with it.
As for French, I’m almost on the black belt of the now ‘old French’ course. I’ll continue it and finish it… unless you advise otherwise in terms of the available new course? Could you summarise the differences between the two? Apologies if this is posted somewhere else! Cofion, Chris

Diolch!
Mmmm, it’s tricky - I’m not too sure of the details in terms of the changes - I would tend to suspect that if you’re nearly on black belt, you’ve already ridden out most of what we thought was suboptimal - I think in your position, I’d keep going, and then when you’ve finished, come back to the new version to skip through it pretty quickly to see if it throws you any useful extras
I’m on green/white belt at the moment and I’d guess about 10% 15% is new stuff so far. Some of that being a different way to say stuff thats already been covered, eg:
Je m’en fiche / Je me moque de : I don’t care.
plus / davantage: more
After competing the original course and doing the infinite play for a couple of months, I’m finding the new course an absolute doddle so far. I should probably be using the advance button more liberally but I’m rather enjoying the revision.

Sounds as though you’re doing fabulously

Minor bug on the new French course I’ve seen a couple of times.
Sometimes the British voice when introducing a new word replaces the female French voice and pronounces the word as if it’s English.
For example: interessante
