the incremental approach along with the programmed steps/lessons makes the learning process much easier than deciding on your own what to study and how to study. Also, the repetition of key words/phrases from earlier lessons in subsequent lessons really does solidify the material. I also really like the MegaFrench modules. There is so much variety to the available tools. If you want to hit it hard you can use the dialogue lessons/review/know it; if you want to get exposure without too much effort, you can do the games. Brilliant!
