India is slowly growing into a superpower and it goes without saying that the Economy has a huge role to play in it. It is because of the impact of the economy that gradually, boundaries are evaporating. Consuming and propagating foreign goods is nothing new for us. Now if you have chosen to learn and speak in France then let me tell you that it is the most taught foreign language in India due to the surge in tourism, hospitality, and innumerable sectors.

In recent few decades, Indians have taken a varied interest in French wines and cheese and till the 20th century, France had the monopoly over wine-making and still boasts of one! In fact, speaking in French can open doors to working in international organizations like UNESCO, The International Olympic Committee, NATO, The Hague, and The International Red Cross. Since now it is fairly clear that you have chosen a powerful foreign language to start with- let me take you through the best methods of being a pro at it.

• Join an online class-

Since you want to plunge into Spoken French, so I can assume that by far you have started understanding French when you watch French news or a French movie and if my assumption is true you can definitely join an online class, where you can not only practice speaking in French in a group or individual sessions. You can not only clarify your doubts but also get instant corrections. Here I would like to recommend the name of Multibhashi. It is an ed-tech platform, where you can get professional trainers to guide you and make you achieve the level, specifically if your target is career-oriented. Multibhashi takes an absolutely flexible approach in not only designing your curriculum but also giving your preferred time slots. Thanks to covid and online learning, ‘learning’ doesn’t stop even if you are commuting back from the office, meaning you can take sessions from anywhere around the globe. Hiring a trainer will be a lifelong investment for you as the material stays with you throughout. You may also take a demo of your chosen trainer at a nominal cost. One word of caution would be, any new change in our life requires discipline and dedication. So if you are regular and focused then no one can stop you from flaunting your French speaking-muscles in no time!

 

• Join a Facebook club-

Thanks to social media, we now realize that self-learning is possible. Earlier learning a new skill seemed like an elephant to be gulped at one go but not anymore! Without spending a dime, you may choose a French club on Fb and start chatting with them right away. I am sure you will end up meeting like-minded people who are in the same boat as you and thus it can not only keep your motivation higher as you don’t feel alone but also native speakers of French can cross your path like a lottery ticket!

 

• Record yourself and listen-

Multibhashi shares all your recordings with you where things get absolutely crystal clear as to where you are getting wrong. Now if you are not ready to commit money and let’s assume that you have started speaking in basic French, then I highly recommend recording yourself while speaking loudly and listening to yourself as I personally believe we are our own teachers first and then the world! You can also start by reading and recording French storybooks for kids and if you love singing then French music is your best bet. French songs can be recorded in your voice.

 Before plunging into a language learning process it is very important to ask yourself the ‘purpose’, if it is career or leisure. If it’s more leisurely there are numerous apps on the internet that can teach basic greeting techniques and etiquettes. But if it is a career, then as I mentioned earlier hiring a trainer can have long fruitful benefits as when you will be dealing with your boss or colleagues you would like to put your best foot forward.
