I do not believe that it is possible even for the most linguistically capable student to progress from French I to at least the equivalent of French III by taking summer courses in French 6 weeks (for 60 hours) at a time separated by 46 weeks of no language training. I think the summer training will have the effect of assuring that the student does not regress from the French 1 level. It's not a good investment of time.

Languages are useful and rewarding only when true fluency arrives, and that barely happens for most students until they complete French IV, and ideally higher.
