Hi Simon,
I tried it and the new approach of adding picture to words seemed novel and to work for me.
The words were a bit basic and in isolation, by the time I got towards the more interesting stuff I was swamped at work and will be for the forseeable future so I haven’t been back.
Seems like a good system but I only scratched the surface and it wasn’t at the depth I wanted - think I’ll be back to the Bescherelle.
Hi Andy
My partner and I have recently moved to France (been here one month). I have some schoolgirls French and my partner even less.
We would be very interested to take part in your course as we are wanting to speak the language as quickly as possible. .we are renovating and old farmhouse and we need to be able to converse with the famed who is currently renting our land as well as the Mairie and the authorities when applying for planning permission etc …
Hi Andrew
Definitely interested in trying your new learning method - have tried a few various options from apps to CD’s and so far they haven’t been enough to get me enthused to continue.
Look forward to hearing from you and further details.
Trish
Bonjour Andrew,

On the site you’ll find a variety of reading, writing, listening and speaking lessons in the Vocabulary, Conjugations and Games sections designed to help you to develop your language skills.
You can go straight to http://ken.mba where there is more information and a link to register.
If you experience any difficulties or have any questions you are welcome to email the team on support@ken.mba.
So what results have you all seen? How have you all progressed? A couple of quotes from the site, that I think you’ll find very interesting.
"At ken.mba we never stop looking for ways to improve our language tools. " start by proofreading your website!! See below:
“Memorable - Another principal for how the your learn is that content must be memorable in order to be remembered effectively. Our delivery of rich content provides the best opportunity to learn store words in your memory for the first time with sufficient cues and reminders in order to make it as memorable as possible.”
"We have an entire system dedicated to quality control all of our content is reviewed, audited and monitored by qualified moderators (our language heros!) before it is presented to you. "
I appreciate these days its difficult not be suspicious when someone offers something for nothing.
To be fair, we do benefit when people join us because it helps us to determine how well our learning tools perform in the real world. We can see what users like, what they don’t like, what they find too easy, too difficult, and where our tools need to be fine tuned, etc, etc. All this helps us to improve and provide a better service.
We’re committed to helping people learn and are gradually bringing our tools and languages to fruition for people to use. We have many new and interesting tools and techniques in the pipeline we will be announcing in due course.
The other side of ken is our charity which has a slightly larger agenda of life-long learning across many disciplines (http://www.learnforyourlife.org). Through our charity we support a wider range of organisations and activities not just languages and Ken.
If you would like to find out more about what we do then you are welcome to send me a msg and we can discuss further.
