Answer Question
Upgraded French volume
Not really a 'getting started' issue but the post creation is missing good options.
I just got the upgraded French, love it BUT the volume needs to be normalized on everything. I don't know if this can be fixed on the French version or not, but in the future the volume of the lecture portions need to match the audio portions of the exercises. Using headphone I nearly get my ear drums blown out when I go from an exercise back to a lecture. I adjust the volume but then when I go back to the exercises I have to crank the volume back up.
It is a bigger issue when using it online via browser as opposed to the offline version that comes from the locally installed software.
On the previous version does not have this issue either through a browser or the locally installed software (I just checked it as I wrote this message).
The volume problem is like when you are watching a TV show and everything seems normal volume wise and then a commercial comes on and blows you out of your chair.
Please look into it as the volume difference is almost enough to hurt and is at least pretty annoying with mild anger. Since I am a slow learner I don't always remember to turn the volume up or down when I hit 'Next Workout' so I either end up not hearing the dialog or I get my ears blown out. I would hate to have this audio error on the rest of the updates. I recommend someone in house comparing, with headphones on, French level 1 session 1 with Sonya and then the French Upgrade level 1 session 1 with Caroline and do both their lecture portion and then go right into the first dialog on each one, adjust the volume as needed then go back to a lecture from Caroline and get ready.
