Yeah, immersion is what i am ultimately going for. To go to France for a month and be able to speak and really get into the language, i a just want a running head start before i do that.

may be you should put some deadline like to pass certain exam with certain marks or be able to read specific books with out dictionary... Regarding mthodics the inet is just overfilled with it, I can share later with them if you wish.

Thats an idea, to give myself a time line for the level i expect myself to be at. I kinda made a general goal to be able to converse with friends in french before i went to france, but that is not a very well defined goal.
