Talking about annoying things about courses, have you ever tried Rosetta Stone? For flexibility in user input where the input has no effect on translation, Duolingo a program I pay nothing for has them beat hands down and you have to pay for their program. It was a guessing game if they wanted something capitalized or not, did they want punctuation or no punctuation, what specific punctuation. Did you accidentally add an extra space between two words, too bad your answer is wrong. Do you put two spaces after a period, wrong. Letās just say I would not recommend it, it is so frustratingly inflexible I keep having to quit. I have the whole darn set though, so I have to find a way to adapt to the stupid idiosyncrasies or lose my money for nothing, ARGH.
You are right in your understanding of āencoreā as again, but here it is āencore plusā as in even more.
Je suis encore plus en retard = I am even more late. But āencoreā here is more like "still/yetā in its meaning.
Je suis encore lĆ , I am still here. Je encore plus en retard, I am still/yet more late.
That was very helpful, thank you Sir.
Iāve made my own course for fluency and pronunciation. It has 900 utterances, some of them short, but lots that are two/three sentences, so you can really practise saying a mouthful!
Basically, you have the text in English and in French, you hear high quality native French audio at a good clear speed for beginners. You can listen and practise that as much as you like, then click a record button to say it yourself, you hear yourself back and the program says whether it has recognised you. If it has, it moves on to the next utterance. If not, it asks you to try again.
As somebody earlier has pointed out speech recognition is ONLY a guide, it isnāt perfect. But the great thing about the course is the content and the opportunity to develop fluency. It is taken from Texās French Grammar (University of Austin) so the content is interesting and useful.
You can find a link to it here on my blog: https://frenchalone.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/an-app-for-practising-french-speaking/
Feedback would be great! I am planning to reverse it so that it is English for French speakers too.
