French new course

I believe you’re right there, Susan. I’ll check that, and the American accents mentioned by @mattcridland as well.

Merci beaucoup!

This one is found and fixed for the next update.

The one you’ve found is a mystery though @susan-w-lewin. I haven’t been able to find it, and the examples I have found are correct. Can you note if it happens again, and what the previous, or next, Intro item is? That will help us track it down.

The English includes ‘new’, which hasn’t been introduced yet and is missing from the French (at least I think it is missing!)

Few more, some are being pronounced in a Spanish accent this time!

It would happen/il se passerait
Differently/ differemment
If I had known/Si j’avais su
Exactly/exactement

And
He wasn’t very gentil - should this be “kind”?

It should be either ‘kind’ or ‘nice’, so I’ve made it ‘kind’.

@Deborah-SSi some more:

Used to work/travaillait
He used to work/il travaillait (Spanish accent)
Question/question

Possible mistranslation:
I will be there tonight/Je serai ici ce soir

  • should this be “here” instead of “there”?

A little bit of encouragement for all you French learners - this is a recent 5-star review the app got on Google Play. It’s quite inspiring!

I’m studying french and I love the course my language learning has improved immensely went to Paris recently to visit my friend and she was gob smacked at how much french I knew

Briefly returning to the fforum (hello!) - I was doing the French through the iOS app earlier (I don’t know if that’s the latest French course or not, but seems to match the screenshots earlier in the thread) and “comment apprendre” was non-French accent. Also the break interjections seemed slightly off (possibly because I was doing it on a long run with dodgy connectivity?), saying that the next break would cover something that didn’t get covered in the next break, or saying that in the daily sentences I should use words I hadn’t yet learned (I can, I can’t, etc.), and hadn’t previously mentioned anything about daily sentences :slight_smile:

Hope that helps.

@Deborah-SSi Just finished the new French course so these may be the last ones I’ll find:

Will you be/seras
Emails/emails

I wonder if he knows/je me demand si tu sais (should be you know?)

So lots of new words in this course and I really feel I’m getting somewhere. The five or so sentences I make up are getting longer and more complicated, I’m picking up on fragments of conversation on TV and written sentences.

Some of the structures I was still struggling with at the end of the old course come quite easily now..

I still love and hate the idioms. They’re often quite fun like “avoir l’air” or “ca ne marche pas”
but continue to be the trickiest to recall.

The new course is quite a bit shorter than the old course, Is that temporary? I missed talking about ugly churches and loud music late at night :smiley:

Woohoo ! Génial ! Bravo ! I’ll ask the course developers about the length for you.

Our best rough estimation of the current content is that it’s a little longer than the old Welsh Levels - but that said, we do have a bunch of extra content to add, we’ve just waiting for someone to shout loudly enough per language :wink:
