The post whore thread.

So far I’m liking Duolingo, it’s not the boring textbook approach

So the biggest help I found, was hitting that little flag when I get one wrong and don't understand something. That leads to a discussion forum about that particular lesson. Like any forum, it's mostly people interacting in a way that isn't that helpful, but it's very strictly monitored, so it's not like dropping into a general discussion thread. More important there are educated people that either explain things, it past a link to another, usually great, learning site that I never would have found on my own.

The other thing is watching things in French, with French subtitles. If you do English subtitles, you'll just read and tune out the French.

I watched this series on YouTube for Spanish. They have one in French. I found it useful because they talked slow, and that's what you need in the beginning.

Thank you for both of those pointers Irving. I’ve watched just about every WWI and WWII video streamed on amazon or Netflix and feel like it might be a good idea to start watching those again in French with French subtitles
