Here is Tony H's success story.

I'm now in my late 70s. My last French lesson was 60 years ago. Gymglish has helped me a lot to cope with memory problems and made me less grumpy and less worried about the possibility of dementia. I find grammar much harder to learn than vocabulary, though I have invented some entirely new words for when our cat, Scamp, decides it's a good idea to walkabout on my keyboard and turn to nonsense whatever I've done in Gymglish test! I have been inspired by giving myself new tests of my own, including short stories, intermediate level, and the hilarious "Clochemerle" novel. Then I tried the ultimate test with "Zazie dans le Metro". It took a long time, but I finished and enjoyed it! Now I am keen to read. Bloody cat! Yes, keen to read a history of the Revolution, in French of course, but they all seem very academic and expensive. Ah well. At least it shows my newfound confidence. But not my typing skills! One last strange fact - at school I was awarded a scholarship by, of all things, a local brewery, to study Japanese, in France and in the French language. I decided it would be far too hard :) I would like to finish with a request for more conversational French instead of an emphasis on grammar.
