I'm the Vicki number something or other who just followed you there.
I'm poking at German and French, swapping back and forth every so often. The French is frustrating because I've gotten far enough into the course that the pronunciation, and especially vowels, is making the spoken/listening part difficult.
I'm still learning some of the German pronunciations, too, but I can usually distinguish between the two words it's asking me to tell apart in the listening questions. What I wasn't expecting is that at least the dialect/pronunciation they're teaching is seriously non-rhotic, and also drops l's.
Oh, it will not accept "plume" for "pen," and I had to be well into the course before it would accept "courriel" as well as "e-mail."
