Learn Parisian French in Paris
Everyday Paris French isn't textbook French. Friends drop the ne (je sais pas), say on instead of nous, and put du coup in every other sentence, but strangers and anyone serving you still get vous.
In Solvelingua you move to Paris, find a home in Montmartre, and learn Parisian French the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
