Neil shared:
“These stories are helping me so much already Alice. I had really struggled to get by without translating everything in my head, but I picture everything in these stories and when answering the questions, I’m able to answer them out loud and all the words come to me naturally. I try to give as long an answer as possible and add in as many details as I can. I feel like I’m finally making progress with both my listening and my speaking. Thank you.”
Neil’s words capture exactly what we aim for: helping you stop translating in your head and start thinking directly in French.
It’s so encouraging to see our learners experience this shift, because this is when real progress happens!
