I would guess the best way to go would be surfing the web, and stopping at sentences / words you don't understand and look them up. Going audio too quickly with no one to interact with doesn't sound very realistic to me. I remember trying movies before going to Spain, it didn't work for me, and the frustration quickly set me off.

Bonne chance et bon courage!

Je vous ai suivi sur twitter pour suivre vos progrès qui seront, j'en suis sûr, phénoménaux!
that is ultimatly what i am hopping to do. Spend some time in Canada and France where i can full immerse myself in it. I just want to give myself a head start and learn as much as i can in the best method i can before i do that.

Ah, that is a good idea, i have not really been blogging or twittering about my french lessons.. mmmm i think i will go make an update now!
Thanks for the idea.
