To summarize the first impression: They offer a lot of free trials to $300 packs. They really want you to join them and seem to be professional and very convinced of their idea. They attract you with the awards and mentions, promise you that you will learn speaking French like a native while cutting your learning time in half and that this will be fun. They show you how successful and happy other customers were. All in all: They promise great success.

First and foremost you cannot deny that they build on a different idea of learning. The course itself is not based on long lists of vocabulary that you squeeze into your head as it is in most cases. In fact, it is mostly based on audio exercises! When you start the course you will be led through simple conversations for which you repeat the parts of the sentences again and again. After having told you the meaning of one phrase they break it down into the single words. Lots of explanations are included. The goal is to speak like a native! To reach that, you do not just repeat them but you can also use Rocket Record, the voice comparison system with which you can see exactly where to emphasize and in which beat to speak. So how do they want to cut your learning time in half? The solution is the "advanced learning techniques". And these are actually very useful because they are based on scientific research! The example given on the landing page is the following: decorating your room in which you learn in a French style to make you really dive into this new culture. Interesting idea, isn't it? But there is more: One feature that may also be based on scientific facts is the design of the program as a game. You gain points, badges and titles on your way to the - literally - French guru. Apart from that there are mini games that help you learning vocabulary in a more efficient way. That looks way more promising than the high school way of studying, right? And the best is: The further you get more enjoyment it becomes! There is no doubt that this is a great way to learn especially the pronunciation and the way natives speak. With this preparation a stay in France will be very pleasant for you!

Whenever you do not know how to go on there is a community to access under "My Forum" with other learners that have the same problems or already solved them.
