Editions Assimil Reviews 27

The app crashes on Mac, and it's impossible to use it. The support doesn't even respond. That's a shame because I bought different books from them in the past and I liked them :(

I'm currently at more than 70% of French “with ease” and, sincerely, I'm hating every second of it. My middle school book was, for me, incomparably better.
At the beginning is okay, few new words and grammar such one can manage to stay on track. Further along the way, most of the explanations are squeezed in the footnotes and, thus, spread across the book. The final experience is a wall of disorderly and confused information with very little exercise and practice.

At the point where I am, I read at least 5 times each dialogue, but it's pointless since (if you are lucky) the exercises are on expressions mentioned once in the lesson's footnotes. If you are unlucky, they were mentioned once who-knows-where before.
There is a comprehensive summary at the end of the book with all the grammar and vocabulary but, honestly, you will forget it exist while doing the daily 2 lesson exercises. It seems all based on the assumption that you will “absorb” everything you did and saw once before, which obviously is not the case.

This is my experience at max effort, maybe it will work amazing for you. My advice is, if you can, try it for some time before buying it.

Very bad attitude in the replies, and ignoring some emails when I need the audio for the book. I do not recommend buying from them, other services teaches you well enough a language and respect the customer.

If you want to learn a foreign language, use this method, it is clearly the right option for you.

PLUS:
- a compagny that exist since 1929.
- a method that proved over the years its an excellent one.
- real progress with only 15 minutes per day.

MINUS:
- more colored illustrations in the book would be nice, but it is a minor drawback, just my opinion.
