There are more ways today than ever before available for learning a language. When it is all said and done there is no best way. You need to approach the learning experience with an open mind and access your learning strengths and weaknesses. Some people are aural learners. On the other hand, seeing examples may be for you. While other might benefit more from a classroom and a live person there to explain everything to them. Many people brainwash themselves into believing that learning a language is hard, it really isn’t; the secret is to approach it from an angle that compliments your particular learning style. You can learn a new language; following are the tips needed to get going from start to finish.
One thing you should do is look for newspapers, books or other material written in French and read them. By doing this you can both increase your French vocabulary and also become more familiar with grammar and sentence structure. Each language has its own rules of sentencing and grammar and reading in that language is the best way to pick up those rules organically. If you read as much as you can in French, or any new language you want to learn, you will find your overall ability to understand and be understood in the new language will greatly improve.
Another extremely useful tool to use is your television set, tune in to French speaking shows and movies whenever you can. Using subtitles to help you along is alright at the beginner’s level but the time will come when you will have to turn them off. The shocking part is that our languages have much more in common than you realize. The beauty of learning from movies and TV. is that you will learn the language in its modern form. Classroom language learning works but what they teach is not what people actually use on the streets and in social settings. To be able to speak and understand the language fully then you will have to incorporate parts of their culture into your learning process.
If possible, try to think in the language you are studying. To do this, pay attention to any thoughts you have and convert them into French. Thinking in the new language will become habitual if you practice this often. Being able to think in French is one of the best ways to make sure you communicate effectively in that language. When you can process the language as you hear it (internally) you will have an easier time understanding what is being said and how to respond without having to resort to translators or taking the time to work out your response.
Learning French is something that can be accomplished by a variety of methods. You can try more than one method; in fact it’s a good idea to try a few. You won’t learn something like French all at once anyway; it may take a while to find the system you are most at home with. If you are working with one method and not getting the results you want, it may be time to try a different approach. Everyone who persists eventually finds the right method; that’s when they really start learning French!
