    Hi:
    I like to know if the lessons come in CDs or are available only online and you lose access after the 16 weeks. I really like to keep the lessons to be able to review them again without the need to buy them again.
    Thank you,
    Miguel

      You can download the lessons on your computer. And there is no time limit to access the lessons online. You can learn in 16 weeks, 16 months, etc..

    how do your say iceberg in french.???
    Also I have 5 sons and daughters . When I speak about them to my husband, I automatically say , Are the { children } coming over?? instead of naming them one by one, but my daughter tells me don’t use the word “children” . Of course, I don’t want to because they are grown children / adults/ mature/ grands enfants. and don’t know what word to use in french and english.
    Is there just one word to replace children or “grown up children”or “grands enfants”.????
    should I say . Are our sons and daughters coming over??
    Are our .????…….coming?
    what would you say?

    looking forward to your help.
    thank you.

      Iceberg, it’sthe same. Les enfants is fine. Even when talking about adult children,but if that annoys her, you could just call them by name. There is really no other word I can think of right now.
