Seems like we had a similar impression, and the comments at the link makes sense.
It’s actually similar in Italian (praticare can’t be followed by a verb, and we use “esercitarmi a” for “m’entraîner à”). But that often makes me doubt that something in French or Spanish doesn’t sound right to me just because it’s unusually very different from Italian!
Just as a quick update, I couldn’t get back to where I was after being put right to the start despite trying logging out etc. Just in case this is a fault that might happen again to someone else. It served to be a nice bit of revision over the holidays as I fast forwarded/practiced the semi forgotten patterns. I eventually got back to where I was and have had no further problems.
DeepL gives “Je voudrais m’entraîner à parler français” for “I would like to practise speaking French” which also concurs with the comments from that link and sounds better to my very basic French ear 
French v.1.2.0 is live! You should see:
-Some fixed audios (there will definitely be many more to fix)
-a decrease in weird phrases (there’ll still be some, but this should help)
-hopefully a complete fix for the course going out of sync
Hello,
On my commute to work last week, I was logged in to SSI French and as usual at a certain point I lost signal and when I got the signal back SSI had advanced me considerably in the course to a point where I had no understanding. When I returned home, I tried revisiting but could not find my original place. I’ve now messed things about so much with Automagic and SSI that I don’t know what to do!!! I’ve shut down and restarted my phone. I’ve deleted and restarted the apps all to no avail.
SSI French is working fine
On another tack, I’m regularly asked to have five minute conversations with myself in my new language, but I can’t for the life of me remember all the topics that I have ‘learnt’. I would find it very helpful if there was somewhere where I could look at the points and vocabulary that I had covered, just as there was in the old SSI Welsh.
I look forward to hearing from you,
David
Ok that sounds very interesting - we are looking at another situation where a user says they went forward. We will have a look at your account if that is OK?
You say that French is now working fine?
Thanks for your help.

Hello
Maybe it is due to the updates you made, but since yesterday I have to start again from the scratch in French, and today I had to start from the beginning in Italian, but after Aran’s explanation the course ( Italian !) started with : The French for I want is je veux. This happens only on the App for the phone.
On the Web App French, Italian and Finnish work fine, only in Welsh North I have to start every day with: That sounds as if the second day of the show was slow. If I skip, I get after every skip another senctences with " fel bod " and the next sentence is always : you’d help the children if you could.
Oh, and I couldn’t resist to sneak into Japanese, I only listened 10 minutes or so, but I really like it.
Thank you for your hard work
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Diolch as always @brigitte! Just a note to @rich - the updates all came this afternoon (we didn’t touch anything before that), so I don’t think the new versions had anything to do with the progress loss. But let me know if I can help look into anything
Kiitos @Novem for your fast reply.
I don’t know anything about the technic behind the App and the courses, so I don’t know where to look.
I think the problems have to do with my account.
I restarted my android phone after the app crashed and had to re-log in. Which I think may be the first time I’ve had to do that.
That’s not a problem, however I did notice after restarting and re logging in I was now getting a better and more balanced revision of older and new material, some of which I hadn’t reviewed in weeks.
Not sure if this had been mentioned before but thought it might be helpful
That is interesting to hear (and I understand why). There are a number of small improvements coming down the line related to revision / repetition.
We have a version in system test at the moment which will be released soon.
Rich
I’ve noticed the same thing. Feels like I’ve gone through a full review since the new version was uploaded, which had been hugely helpful as the previous version did not convert older material with the consistency that it seems to be doing now. All very helpful.
S’arreter is introduced as to stop and is eventually built up to use in the phrase ‘should we stop somewhere to eat’
But in the build up it’s put with a couple of phrases such as
Je veux s’arreter
But I think this should be je veux m’arreter when use in the 1st person singular?
It’s eventually used mainly in phrases with on doit s’arreter - which works for fine, it’s just the build up phrases.
As a side note - on and nous are pretty much introduced side by side without any explanation. I’ve come across both forms before so more than happy to go with the flow, but if this was someone’s first time learning any French it might be a bit confusing without at least a brief mention that there’s two possible forms for we.
Also pour manger is introduced as ‘to eat’ but one of the build up phrases is ‘I want to eat’ - je veux pour manger
Which I don’t think really makes sense.
The Italian does something similar with voglio sedersi (= je veux s’asseoir). I don’t know if there needs to be a tweak to Romance reflexive verbs in general, or, if so, how easy or difficult a tweak that would be.
