Physics for a non-science-y kid...this looks great.
However, there are a bazillion editions, and one thing I keep seeing in reviews is that there aren't any answers to problems. Right now I'm thinking https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0133647498/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A2O7EMZ4FQPVA&psc=1 plus the Guided Reading and Study Workbook and the Problem Solving Exercises.
Thank you!

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.

I've tried it on two different computers and it works. Make sure you are using Explorer and not Edge. It only opens a slim player window at the top, it doesn't open a new screen or window.
OHHH, that might be why. THank you!

Spend some time looking through the responses on Reddit. That is where I found the ones that I posted. Maybe ask if anyone has the latter lessons and see if someone responds.
I will create an account and do that. Thank you!

Ok. I found some of them here:
Thank you--daughter is working through those right this moment. I wish that kind soul would post the rest.

According to a google search, Reddit provided these links (I didn't try to see if they worked. Sorry. Hope they do!)

I actually own the CDs, but streaming would be way more convenient.

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.

Thank you, ladies! I am slowly getting unburied.

Newbie question! (Only in Orthodoxy can one legitimately be called a newbie at almost 3 years, LOL!) Anyhoo....lectionary? You just buy a lectionary and read it at home? Is there a certain one? What am I looking for that I didn't know I needed? :huh:

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.

Your writing and your book is your job... and people don’t have to stop working at their jobs during Lent. Perhaps book launching involves talking it up, and talking yourself up (because what people love is not a book itself, but the author as storyteller) and putting your best foot forward- but if you have done some good work, the kind of pride you take in it is not wrong. Unless you take it to an extreme. :) best wishes.
Thank you so much. I needed to hear this! When the publisher paid me it was with the understanding that I would do this, yet at the same time it seems so contradictory to the virtues.

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

Lord have mercy! I asked a priest once what "Lord have mercy" meant in Orthodoxy because I was used to it meaning "Don't be mad at me and take a swipe at me!" and the priest said it means, "Lord, grant me what I need."
I LOVE this interpretation! It's meant a lot to me over the last 3 years. And I need His mercy so, so much.

Friends, please pray for me. I'm not only struggling with regular Lenten stuff, but right now I'm coordinating a contest and trying to prepare my book launch (big struggle because it seems against humility right now) and of course homeschooling the kids. Oh, and we're moving within the next 2 months but don't have a firm date. I'm really, really overwhelmed and I need God. I need Him so much right now just to keep my nose above water. It's all good things--a vortex of good things--but they come with huge responsibility.

I just got a FitBit and my numbers are like yours. I have to be very intentional. Some evenings I do laps around the block in our neighborhood. Sometimes, in the middle of the morning I will do laps in the living room around the couch. I set my goal at 8,000 steps to start out and unless I extra steps, I don’t reach even 8,000. But it’s fun. I make a game out of it. And I try not to get discouraged.
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....

So true!!! I was ready to quit writing entirely, but I have a great idea for a new series, and I'm realizing it won't be this hard forever. Right now I get most of my writing done in my van. I take the sleepy baby for a ride, and when she passes out I park in the starbucks parking lot, drink a coffee, and write. It's my "office", lol.
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???

Exactly It's like I go into survival mode and creativity isn't part of that.
I DO wonder how much of my increased writing is due to improved mood and how much of my improved mood is due to increased writing...I'm suspecting a feedback loop here.
Yup, chicken and egg! I always feel better when I write but sometimes getting to that point is so stinking hard. After all these years, I've made peace with the fact that it just takes me longer than others to write a book. Maybe when the homeschooling years are over I can go faster. A lot of my mental energy is spent on those needy little critters I try to educate :lol:

You all know I've had mood issues since early on in my last pregnancy. And after. One of the things effected was my writing. I stopped, completely. Mind you, I was under contract and Harlequin could have requested I send back my advance, but they didn't. They offered love and support and time. And today I just sent in my finished book!!!!!!!! I can't believe it - I thought I might never write again. But I did. And it's done! I am so freaking proud of myself. And HAPPY. The weather has changed, and it's like I'm a different person.
Anyway, wanted to share...y'all are with me when I'm down and so it seemed fair to share the up times as well.
Cause I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Book number 6 is DONE!!!!!
WOOHOO! That is great news. So glad they were willing to work with you and that it all turned out well. When life gets crazy, my creativity and drive are derailed because it's those deep parts that generate the work.

Until we moved this year and have had to spend so much time apart, I wouldn't have realized. Having to live apart for his work and missing him desperately, I can say YES, he is my best friend. Fingers crossed that next week he gets to start living with us full time again. Of course I might occasionally want to tweak his nose at that point, but at least we'll be together :lol:

I'm not clear on what you're asking - are you asking people to review your book and promote or advertise it for free?
Yes, that's generally what a launch team does--help spread the word and launch the book. Reviews, social media, talking it up, etc.

I wish I had seen this before I purchased! Thank you, though.
