To update--French In Action has been a great program so far! It was rocky at first, until my daughter got used to the immersion method. She's learning pretty quickly this way.

Oh my goodness--we finally got it! I typed in "Marrons" instead of "marron" as listed in the book. Go figure.

OHHH, that might be why. THank you!

I will create an account and do that. Thank you!

Thank you--daughter is working through those right this moment. I wish that kind soul would post the rest.

They don't unlock on any of the browsers at this point, I think. And I haven't yet heard back from the publisher. LOL, I don't know why they make it so hard to use the product.

We bought the 3rd edition textbook and workbook, and my daughter is super excited to start. The only trouble is.....no audio files available seemingly anywhere to go with the workbook. We've found the video component, but NO audio. I emailed Yale Books (publisher) and she sent me a link which asked me to set up an account and confirm the food on page 51, which I did--except it's saying my answer is wrong. Anyhoo.....SO many hoops. Do any of you know where I can find the audio files for French in Action? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm waiting for someone to invent a pill that makes you feel like you just ate 5 plates at Thanksgiving, but in reality is just a little pill. So rather than something to suppress your appetite, you feel stuffed long enough to avoid All The Things.

WOOHOO! So excited about this since there's so few shows I truly love. Guess it's time for a good binge!

Thanks for the heads up! I love knitting videos, and I'll bet my youngest would love bingeing for a while too.

Not getting discouraged is a big part of it! I think I quit the FitBit after comparing with my hubby every day. I was struggling to get to 10K and he was routinely reaching 24K. While comparisons can be useful for some, it can be discouraging for others.

For us in OUR circumstances, if we were going to use the money that soon I'd probably take it out now rather than having it in the market. The market is for long term investments, and the closer you get to needing the money, the safer you need to keep it.

Yesterday I had to hike my big buns all over downtown---twice---to get over 10,000 steps. For me, it's not going to happen without a concentrated effort and time set aside. But thanks to this thread I was determined to make it happen.

There is no way I can get to 10,000 without a concerted effort. I *try* to get in a daily walk in addition to normal movement, but I've been less consistent lately. It takes me at least a full hour of walking plus daily movement to maybe hit 10K. That's really sad as I sit here and re-read it....

Love it! I used to do that too since my younger kids wouldn't nap in their cribs. It's a little better than that now, obviously, but I still spend over an hour a day driving them, then during snippets of time when they are both at an activity I can pull out the laptop. It IS bound to get easier, right? RIGHT???
