Sorry for the delayed reply. I am both an editor at Living Language and a learner of French using the Living Language French course. I started with very elementary French, and I've made my way through to the Advanced course.  The pace you progress at will depend on various factors: the time you can commit to studying, your exposure to French outside of the course, your previous experience with French and other related languages, and so on, but as a general rule I find that a lesson a week is a good pace for me. I can only spend about 30 minutes a day or 45 minutes every other day studying.  If you have more time, you can certainly move faster. You asked about becoming fluent. Fluency is a pretty ambitious goal. I know lots of non-native French speakers who have studied for years and are very proficient but would still not call themselves fluent. There are certain standards for language proficiency out there that you can compare yourself against, such as the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) for Languages which will be helpful in setting concrete goals. If you finish all three levels of our course, depending on whether you use eTutoring and expose yourself to French radio and other "real world" sources of French, you can achieve around a B1-B2 level of proficiency I think. As I said, proficiency is affected by lots of variables outside of just how far in our course you go, but with dedication and studying, I think this is a very attainable goal after finishing the course. If you have any further questions about French, post here! Our eTutor Sev can help you.  I personally find listening to RFI (Radio France Internationale) a good way to tune my ear to the sounds of the language.  And etutoring has also been very helpful.

Let us know how it's going!

Bonne courage,

Erin
