Like many people, I tried apps, books, podcasts and YouTube videos to learn French. They weren’t working. When I first saw Alice on YouTube, I dubbed her “the lady with the white board and corny stories for kids.” It looked amusing, but not a way to learn a language.
I’ve been studying french off and on for about 6 years, but never found a course or app that held my attention or that really committed to the ‘comprehensible input’ approach. This approach is used very successfully by Alice and it helps the student attach meaning to the words and sounds without translating it back to their mother tongue.
Alice uses the “comprehensible input”method to teach French. This means – all of her lessons are conducted in French. There is 0 English (except maybe in a couple of pre-lessons). As you go through the stages, you build on knowledge from previous lessons, and eventually you find yourself understanding the language.
Learning French with no pressure and no memorization is such a nice change from other methods I have tried when learning French. They use simple sentences that build your vocabulary gradually through repetition, drawings, colors, and emphases on new vocabulary words. Each new story builds from the previous story which helps to recall words or phrases already heard and adds on new words or phrases.
I am enjoying this learning platform. I love the solo option. I can take my time and process this beautiful language. Customer service has been so helpful. I highly recommend this program and I am so thankful for what they offer.
I love it! Thank you Alice.
Je l’aime! Merci beaucoup Alice.
