Tips
on Learning French
Many
people view French as one of the most beautiful languages in the world because
of its preciseness and way in which it can be eloquently spoken. Due to its fairly complex syntax and
deformation of verbs French can sometimes be difficult to learn for beginners,
but learning any language is a challenge well worth undertaking. Here are five
tips that will help you speed up your learning curve significantly.
1. Label Items – label common items around your home in French.
I feel this is one of the easiest and most underused techniques in learning a
new language.
2. Use French Phrases – use French phrases for normal everyday
conversations. Learn the most common phrases such as “Bonjour,” “Au revoir,”
and “Comment ça-va?” When you greet someone during the day think about how you
would say the phrase in French.
3. Practice
Every Day – learning a language is unlike learning any other subject. Your
knowledge must build and become as intrinsic as possible. Practicing every day
is the only way you will be able to maintain and improve your skills.
4. Speak Out Loud – I know this one sounds simple but speaking the
words out loud is important to learn the correct pronunciation. A simple and
fun way to learn pronunciation is to learn a song in French. There are many
children’s songs that prove to be great tools for learning French
pronunciation.
5. Take Advantage of Technology – with all les options out there, this is
easier that ever. YouTube has dozens upon dozens of resources for French
beginners. iTunes offers free 24/7 radio stations and podcasts that are French
(some for beginners!) and most cable packages will have at least occasional
programming.
Of course it is always good to mix and match these
tips and even combined them to help you learn French quickly. It is important
you make it fun to do and don’t treat it as a chore. By using these tips in
conjunction with French classes you can easily pick up great new language.
Also, remember these phrases:
Small
steps can lead to big accomplishments!
Vouloir,
c’est pouvoir. Profitez de l’apprentisage!
