I studied French in college and then traveled to France to practice the language. Unfortunately, most of the shop-keepers preferred to speak English with me because my French was “so bad.” That was 7 years ago, and now I’m itching to sharpen up again. Does anyone have any ideas how I can strengthen my French without having to go back to school or travel or Europe? (Something more local and sustainable?)
How to learn to speak French fluently
How I did it: Took French classes. Practised speaking. Went to France. It's a nice language. And I feel so worldly and accomplished! I'm still not perfect at it, but I will be working on it for the rest of my life.
Lessons & tips: Immerse yourself in the culture, and really go out there and learn.
Resources: FRENCH DICTIONARY= AWESOME.

What better a way to be diverse than to learn to speak a different language, especially French? This is a goal I’ve wanted to fulfill for quite a while, and now I shall put my time to trying! Having taken a year of French classes, which were in school, I have learned some basic words and sayings, but not following up on it has taken its toll, and I am lacking severely! Wish me luck!
And work on my French. I’ve been out of practice for almost a year : (
Nadais is madly, giddily in love with <---- THIS man ♥
..or lose it, and apparently I lost it. Have to brush up again I suppose.
When customers have trouble with english, I’m too shy to speak french with them for fear I’ll sound stupid. Never going to learn if I don’t make an attempt I suppose.
Oh my, it’s been almost a year since I’ve been on here. Anyway, I definitely want to learn this language. If only Rosetta Stone wasn’t so expensive. I don’t exactly have a $1,000 to spare on a beginner’s college course at my university considering I can’t exactly throw my money away on leisure classes when the economy is so worrisome.
I’m still listening to Alexa Polidoro’s wonderful podcasts. They are absolutely amazing. Since my novel is my primary goal right now, I have to try to squeeze in a lesson when I can.
Ya, French sounds amazingggg :) and thats where i wanna go to college! But not my first year… prolly like after college i wanna go to french college for my…. what’s the degree called thats after your first 4 yrs??
