I have listened to lesson 1.4 Avoir soif, about five times now, and I am still having problems remembering answers to Paul's questions. I have improved but should it take the (average) person this long?
I would be interested in staff and user replies, please.
I will try the lesson again later!
By the way; what is the difference between "Boire" and "Boisson"?
Thank you.
Is it me?

Hi PrivateRadiator ,
Every language learner is unique and has a way of learning thats best for them.
I always recommend to spend most of your time on listening to the Interactive Audio Course.
Listen to a lesson once, and then listen to it again a day later to see how much you can remember.
Once you feel comfortable move on to the next lesson.
Being able to speak French is so much fun and you will see that the language and culture lessons will seem much easier once you have an understanding of how to speak basic French.
After doing the first 3 lessons start reading through the Language and Culture lessons and do the exercises.
It pays to play one of the MegaGames (save MegaVerbs for when you are through most of the language lessons) 2-3 times a week. These games will teach you many new words and expressions in a fun way.
In order to be able to help you and other students to find your own learning style, we have created a motivational centre which will be available in your members area soon.
This learning space will provide you with tips, techniques and motivational ideas to make your language learning easier and more successful.
"Boire" is a verb which means "to drink".
"Boisson" is a noun and it means "the drink" (or "the beverage").
I hope this help.
:)

*exactly* the same reply I had from a different person, when I sent feedback? Do you have a standard answer for most questions?
