Practice your French

Is this your first try to learn a foreign language? If not you may have recognized that you can work very very hard and after a while you have forgotten the most. This is annoying, it even makes me feel angry sometimes. All this effort for nothing?

To avoid that feeling it is important to practice what you have learned. Like I do by writing this blog. Maybe you noticed already, I am not a native English speaker, but I try and keep trying.

But back to the topic. I have just found a nice page that offers fairy tales in easy french language. So if have already a little knowledge it might be worth to try. Reading fairy tales is definitely much more fun than drilling another punch of vocabulary.

I did not read them myself yet, but just ordered my free trial copy.

Let me know what you think about it,

how to learn french using facebook

If you have an facebook account there is an easy option to learn one french word a day. That is really cool, because one word is not really that kind of drilling we all know from school and checking your facebook profile is anyway on the schedule, isn't it?

That is what I mean when I say the learning process should be part of daily life.

One of this mini applications is even reading the word for, so correct pronunciation is no problem.

Here are the links:

French Audio Word of the day

Have a look on it and tell me what you think.

how to learn french method

These days I asked myself which requirements a French course should meet.

When I think back how I learned English, there were several things I did not like and do not need again. In short I found just three points that describes a method which should help me to learn French in short time and without feeling annoyed.

So my method should follow these guidelines:

1. no drilling of vocabulary,
2. no drilling of grammar,
3. a integration in my daily life, to learn at same time without noticing it.

What is your opinion on that?

Do I need a talent to learn french?

Many people who want to know how to learn French, ask me this question:

Do I need a talent to learn French?

To be short: NO!

You can learn French, as you can learn any other language. At least, if you have been able to learn your native language. As you can read this post, I assume this is the case. So don't be afraid, if you like to learn French, it's just a matter of the right method.

BTW, I have just found a French course that looks promising. I just tried the first lesson (that is free) and I was surprised. I think it's worth to have a look.

Cheers, Wuzel
