Introduction:
I had always heard that French is a difficult language to learn. It will not be easy for a non-native speaker to learn French. This gave me a valid reason to back-off as I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. Neither did I have so much time to spend the whole day learning it.
Everything is easy if you start with it. This morning, motivation one day led me to reconsider my decision. I planned to start with it, to see what it is about, to see the level of difficulty it carries. I started watching videos of how to learn French. I was a bit satisfied. I got the energy to give it a try. I read my articles and collected some tips from there. I read about the importance of French in various articles and got that extra boost. I would like to share with you these tips.
Important things to know
First, let me list down some tips to get that motivation.
- Everything seems difficult at first, but it is not.
- You can do it.
- Learning a new language gives you a new pleasure.
- If you water it with your efforts, hard work, and dedication, you can surely achieve it.
Well, this is how I started.
- Got a notebook and pen.
- Make a list of apps, websites and videos, and audios that teach French.
- Select from among the list which ones are the best(since there are lots of apps and websites that teach French, it is confusing to select from them. So I read reviews, did my own research, and sorted out the best ones).
- Bought books (online and offline after a lot of research).
So I did a lot of hard work to get started. I did this because a dear friend advised me that if you start well you do it well. Now I will tell you how I proceeded:
- I started with the basic Alphabets that form the important part of any language. I heard audios in order to get the pronunciation for them. I had to do it like 10 times to learn that. But it was okay. I learned it.
- Then I made a list of French vocabulary with their English meanings. This is so important. How do we even speak if we do not know the words? I made it a point to learn more and more vocabulary each day.
- Then I listened to more audios and videos of how to frame sentences and phrases.
- Then I started speaking to myself. I know it sounds funny, but only I had myself. I stood in front of the mirror and spoke to myself.
- Recorded my audios and listened to them.
My 5 golden rules:
- Revise
- Be punctual.
- Dedicate time daily.
- Learn something new daily.
- Do not give up.
Last but not the least; I will share with you my top secret of being able to speak French. Well, I started as a one-woman army, but soon started to feel heavy with the daily tasks with nobody to correct me, nobody to communicate with. Then I came across Multibhashi. They claim to be the one-stop solution to all our language problems. They are very much true. I joined Multibhashi in a confused state. I must say it was one of the best decisions I have made. The trainer- an expert in the French language – was so cooperative. So much knowledge, daily spoken French, correcting my mistakes and it was fun.
I would highly recommend you all to follow the tips I have listed down and do join Multibhashi and make your journey worth the time and effort
