learn french

I think I was always putting too much emphasis on learning it all, that nothing would stick.now I’ve been focusing on just what I need for a test and things actually stick in my head more. Raised one grade letter as well!

i took french classes about 4-5 years ago. i was really good at it, i enjoyed class. but then i had to quit because i didn’t manage my time too well and i needed to study for school. so french lessons being an extra-curricular activity, had to be dropped. after that i did take another class about 2 years ago, but this time i had to stop prematurely too. bad time management again! i really want to learn french, but now i’m apprehensive about signing up for formal lessons, i think i’m going to end up quitting again! can i learn it by myself? at least the basics? once i master that i might feel more confident about taking formal lessons…help!

I just started to learn French. I bought textbooks and CDs for NHK radio programs, which broadcast in Japan.
I’m going to study French step by step.

When I was a kid I started to learn Spanish, but fell off the rails almost immediately.

So this will be one project of mine that WILL NOT fail!!

(BTW I’m using a wesbsite called LingQ to learn French- it’s awesome- check it out)

I have some kind of love hate relationship with French studies. I kinda love the language and learning new stuff, but I hate how much of my time studying it properly would take. I haven’t put enough energy for it, cos I simply won’t have energy to do so right now. There’s too much going on. It might be possible that I won’t continue it anymore in the next semester. I think I should concentrate to other studies of mine. I have now learned the basics of French. I think that if I would learn it more if I have to use it at some point. Maybe it’s stupid to quit it now. Maybe I should go all those 4 courses. Well I can decide this after holidays. It’s not late yet then.

I cannot even speak English well done, but i still want to learn French!

A spoken language is primarily a skill, not a body of knowledge. So don’t “learn,” PRACTICE.

Soooo I thought French would be a logical 3rd language to follow my mastery of English (can you master your native tongue? I can write beautifully but I always totally lose at Scrabble) and my on-and-off Spanish fluency. But it’s hard! So many letters you aren’t supposed to pronounce, it’s like the OPPOSITE of Spanish where you hit every syllable like a nail.
I checked out a French workbook from the library. Someone already wrote in all the answers. Escargot! Noir! Eiffel!
