Answer Question
programme improvements
I have written this before, but there has been no action by Fluenz, so I am posting publicly in hopes that it might stimulate some action.
The flashcards are useful, but they do not go far enough. There are not enough complex sentences, which is what conversation in the real world is like. In the second "match the phrase" workout in the DVD's, there are many complex sentences that should be incorporated in the flashcards but are not. I have also suggested composing many new sentences because the constant repetition leads to automatic rote responses whereas conversation is unpredictable.
Fluenz is arguably the best language programme, but there are areas where it can be improved.
