I am blown with the level of french I am learning.
Gutentag.

for practice sessions to improve one's ability to translate, I suggest showing the English first visibly separated from the German.

I like the variety of lessons. All of the lessons involving spoken Spanish are helping me with my biggest weakness, which is understanding Spanish when it is spoken.
I do have one major complaint, and that is that more effort should be put into giving a more accurate and useful English interpretation. The addition of an exact literal translation would both provide lessons in the word order of Spanish, and also help with learning new Spanish words. All too often I am wondering if this word that I have been introduced to before has a new meaning, or does it just look that way due to the interpretation being based on what a sentence means, and not on what it actually says. (e.g.: "me gusta" means "I like", but it literally says "me it pleases")

Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".

First of all, I have to say that I was able to choose East Germany, which makes me happy.

And this course is really fun and I learned something in a very short time. Wow. Hopefully I can scrape together the money.

I love how this is a professional-appearing and organized curriculum. I feel assured that the lessons go into such care and detail that I am faithfully being taught right, starting from the basics. I love how each lessons requires the use of several different learning techniques, ¡eso es demasiado importante! I also love how there are SO many included resources and materials for you to use whenever. I feel that the way that this course is set up makes it easy to check and moniter your actual progress, but you are also given enough freedom to learn how you can learn best. Thank you for this!!
