Assimil French Vk

[Ping Weafer]

Theolder Assimil version seemed to better prepare me to interact with Moroccan speakers, whereas the more recent version seemed to help more with Parisians (although, interestingly, I have struggled with northern accents).

I wanted to use Assimil to build a quick backbone in French and I believe I have achieved this. I can now utilize some more advanced learning materials outside of Assimil. A core pillar of my study will continue to focus on french/english accompanying text and audio shadowing, although with materials I choose and am interested in.

Professor, What do you think of the other books in the series? I was given digital copies of Communication, Vocabulaire, Literature, Orthographe and Photetique. I have not been using the Grammaire Progressive workbook too much as I wanted to learn grammar through reading and speaking.

Thank you so much for your time. Like many others, I am an Argelles acolyte, and I spread the word of your methods throughout the communities with whom I interact. I do treat your word like gold and my results have been nothing short of amazing. I hope to build French as my linguistic foundation, close to my native tongue, simply because I have such a strong predilection for and endless interest in the language and literary/philosophical culture.

Thank you for much for your detailed letter, and thank you for your kind words of trust in the methodology that I myself have used and am pleased to share with the world, especially knowing that it finds receptive people like yourself who can profit from it. On that note, congratulations to you on what you have achieved already, being able to skip semesters and place into honors programs based on autodidactic study using Assimil methods as I have described doing in the past!

Would you like my advice for developing a systematic, long-term plan for learning languages and accessing literatures? This website provides a place where you can describe your background, current activities, and goals in sufficient detail for me to provide you with meaningful advice, and where our exchange can remain as a lasting resource for others with similar scholarly aspirations.

Assimil (often stylised as ASSiMiL) is a French company, founded by Alphonse Chrel in 1929. It creates and publishes foreign language courses, which began with their first book Anglais Sans Peine ("English Without Toil"). Since then, the company has expanded into numerous other languages and continues to publish today.

Their method for teaching foreign languages is through listening to recordings, and the reading of a book with the text that you are listening to: one side native language, one side foreign language. This method is focused on learning whole sentences, for an organic learning of the grammar. It begins with a long passive phase of only reading and listening, and eventually adds active exercises. Most books contain around 100 lessons, with the active phase starting on Lesson 50. The word "Assimil" comes from assimilate "incorporate or absorb knowledge into the mind".
