Thanks for the video! Question for you. 08/13/2008

Hi Flora, thanks for the video. I've always wanted to be able to speak a little French but I've always had problems with the pronunciation. Just to clarify what you were saying in your video though. Are you saying that you can learn online, but you just need to get face to face practice as well? Or were you suggesting that face to face instruction is always better if you can get it. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more of your lessons.

Yes, I think a language must be heard first.
When you learn as an adult, you must repeat before you read.
But of course, you need to understand what you are saying, that's why I join a script.
Pronunciation is a key element to be understood.
With the internet, it's so easy to learn a language.
