I got to say, memrise is lot better for the speaking portion of French.

@LWFlouisa I just started using it for dutch and love it

@freemo Yea I have Dutch on there too.

It's a lot more understandable than Duolingo.:P

@LWFlouisa What i love about it is that it doesnt try to teach you spelling. I'll learn that later and it slows me down. Speaking and reading is my priority for now.

@freemo I figured, if you're in the right area, that' correct you on the spelling.

@LWFlouisa so far i havent had it ask me to spell anything yet. But maybe thats at higher levels

@freemo Ah the spelling is where I am in French!

@LWFlouisa They really need to make it so you can customize what you want to learn: reading, writing, or spoken... I have yet to find a tool that does this and it is frustrating. I have spell checkers i have absolutely no reason to waste my time learning to spell in any language.

@freemo The most confusing is actually the gender. The rest "est une le gateau."

@LWFlouisa German, french, dutch, and many languages have gender associated with all nouns that often differs from what one might expect. It is the thing i hate most about many languages.

@freemo An apple is apparently feminine.

But fish is masculine. Banane is oddly enough, feminine.

@LWFlouisa Yea in german scissors are masculine
, its crazy!

@freemo But not for angry wives to cut their hair I guess.

@freemo I can actually switch review mode as well. Learning new words is my favorite, because I get to hear actual speakers.

@freemo See I know enough French where te is not how you is spelled, it's tu, and that's only if you want to be intimate.

Otherwise you use Vous.

@LWFlouisa My french is mostly non existant. I learned enough for Brussles so i could say please and thank you to be considerate. Any other french i know is just stuff that has entered common language (which is a lot surprisingly).
