To begin with, have a look through the course outline and the lesson objectives for each core lesson. This will give you an idea of what key language areas are covered.

Take a look at our overall course methodology tutorial video.

If you are a complete beginner go to lesson 1, otherwise, take our Test de Nivel to identify your French level. The video exercises (dictations, gap fills, etc.) and the supplementary videos are designed to reinforce the main language points from the core lessons, expand your learning and add a bit of variety. Here's a suggestion on what might help you:

1. Watch the core lesson along with the support guide and make your own notes along the way
2. After finishing the lesson, take the main lesson quiz to test your knowledge.
3. After that, spend some time on the supplementary content below each of the video - take the quizzes, make more notes, watch the videos etc.

We recommend spending around 1.5-2 hours on each core lesson. Take some time off to avoid burnout and return the next day or a couple of days later on to the next lesson.

Before starting the next lesson, go back to the previous lesson and take the main quiz again, as this will keep that info in your mind for longer.
If it's too difficult, refer to your notes again and try once more.

When you feel confident about the previous lesson, move on to the next and repeat. As you progress through the course, you can keep going back and trying out the quizzes of previous lessons - as I believe this will help you to remember each bit of key grammar.
