French as a Second Language Lesson 2

Hey there folks,

I started on Duolingo to learn French. This was not my first choice, I wanted to try the trial versions of other "paid for" programs/software applications-however I couldn't find "mindsnacks" (not sure if they were bought out); "Modoly"*? (not sure how to say the name), was garbage; "Bravolol" is simply a dictionary and as a teacher I use Memrise far too much to want to use it myself. Rosetta stone is promising and actually quite comparable to software I have used to learn Chinese (which I think got pretty good pretty fast), however there is not much to learn without paying for it.

Duolingo is built on a reward system and bright colours as well as "tokens" you achieve for participating in the app actively.

Tomorrow we will try the duolingo app again and see what the progress is like on the app versus what I have learned through another typed paragraph using two pronouns (I and You-Je et Tu).

All the best!
