    Posted: 02 May 2008 at 7:59pm
Hello All,
I'm new here (although I've known of the FSI programs for a few years) and I'm just wondering, generally, at what pace is best when using the FSI French course?
I have already had 2 years of college French courses, but over this summer I would like to review and cement my basic French knowlege through the use of FSI along with the French in Action videos (I can't afford the work/text books) which I've heard is quite effective.
If possible, I am just curious what schedule others follow that they find most beneficial, and perhaps what others believe might be most beneficial for me?
At the moment, I will have plenty of free time and can commit a large chunck  of the day to studying French, and I would like to know what has worked for others!
Thank you!
Austin

The FIA textbook isn't too expensive, but you can read the dialogs from lessons 2-26 on the FIA for Teachers site: http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/FiA/FrenchinAction.html  Just click on Preparing your Lessons on the left side.

Plus there's a FIA Fans wiki that includes vocabulary, grammar and culture notes for about 20 lessons so far: http://fiafans.wikispaces.com/

Bon courage !
