Hello everyone,
In the event that my husband's visa is approved, I've been madly trying to bring my French up to speed. I am using a combination of Rosetta Stone (I only have levels 1-3) and some old french text books I have from college. I also try to watch the few French films I have without subtitles so that I can focus on trying to pick out the words (I have a hard time understanding people who aren't speaking unnaturally slow.)
I feel like my biggest hurdle of all is pronunciation. I like that Rosetta Stone lets you speak, but I feel like I need even more speaking practice. Is there any other software that has voice technology? Aside from pronunciation, is there a self-study course that any of you have used and really found helpful in real life situations?
I'm not all together unhappy with my plan-I just want to make myself aware of all the options.
Thanks in advance everyone! Cheers!
