If you want a supplement to FSI, and can't get the FiA material, there are tons of other French audio courses out there online.  Google for "learn french podcast" or something, and you'll find several that might be useful.

Are there any specific podcasts that you've found good?

The accident was due to the road bending.

I am based in Switzerland and "French In Action"  isn't accessible. Can someone kindly guide me how to get hold of the videos.

I searched "How to learn         .com" for any roundabouts; but couldn't find any.

FSI course is fabulous and it would be really good if I can complement it with FIA.

Thanks a zillion in advance.
Regards

I think the thread you need is called 'French in action without a proxy' (or maybe 'FIA without a proxy')

You mean 'tu'?  I think they introduce (a bit abruptly) it in the second half. It was much less commonly used when the course was produced, so I think they de-emphasized it...

it is important to keep in mind that these diplomats that use the courses conduct formal business, while "tu" is used in a friendly context.
