Hello everyone.
 
 
I've been working through this FSI course and have now reached unit 5.
I am living in Taiwan and do not have anyone to talk to in French.
 
I must say that I love the course. I can't believe my luck in finding it!
I love the way the drills create language habits. But I have a concern
 
My concern is this:
Since there is no interaction with the course, how do I know if I am speaking correctly? What if I am creating and reinforcing incorrect habits in my French speaking?  
 
 
What would you recommend to supplement it?

I am in Singapore and share your same situation. I found the following sites useful to supplement FSI:

1. http://www.laits.utexas.edu/fi/html/toc/00.html  (Univ. of Texas French course, with notes, videos, etc)

2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/french/  (BBC French with videos)

3. http://www.learnfrenchbypodcast.com/   (Audio lessons via podcasts)

I have many other good sites to suggest, depending on what youwant to focus on eg grammar, pronunciation, etc

Hope you find above useful
