Alternative Pathway for Beginners¶

From Charlie Chaplin: Beginners struggling with Refold can use a French beginner course (book and audio) from a public library alongside the 300-word Anki deck. Adapt the course by:
Listening without speaking aloud.
Avoiding translation to your native language.
Not memorizing or aiming for 100% understanding; move to the next lesson daily.
Example: Use Assimil’s book and audio, listening and reading each lesson without translating. Midway, revisit lessons and create Anki sentence cards for unfamiliar words, then start immersing with easy media like Alice Ayel.
