Learning a language takes time, effort, and dedication.
It requires practice in listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
LISTEN
Listen to the radio, a podcast, or an audiobook.
Watch a movie/series or online videos.
You can also practice your listening skills and vocabulary by listening to French songs.
READ
If you are not ready for novels, try reading children’s books first. They are usually easier to understand.
You can also read magazines or choose online articles about something you like.
WRITE
Have a notebook at hand to write down new words and expressions, which you can look up and check later.
Try to make personal sentences. It will help you memorize those new words.
SPEAK
Work on your pronunciation.
Practising your pronunciation is essential to make it clear enough that others can comfortably understand you when you speak.
Familiarize yourself with IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) to recognize French sounds.
Read out loud or listen and repeat, imitate, and make a recording.
Regularly doing this will help your mouth muscles work and create French sounds. Get comfortable doing it.
And remember, the best and fastest way to improve your French is to use it regularly.
Try to find the time by creating a daily routine.
💡 You can even change the language on your computer/tablet/phone so that you will have to use French every time you use them.
