Hi guys, welcome to my blog. I hope you will find some of the information I plan to share with you helpful. I thought I would use my first post to tell you a bit about me, and how I learnt to speak French fluently.
From start to finish, it took me just over 12 months to attain a level of fluency where I felt I could talk about pretty much anything with a French speaker. Although I still had things to learn, I was able to read French newspapers, watch French movies, and understand French music. Just goes to show that it doesn’t take years to learn a foreign language, and believe me when I tell you that I am no academic. The key was just having the dedication and will to learn, and obtaining good quality learning materials. I will post more about the materials and techniques I used to enhance my learning later on.
The course I took cost a total of just $150, which also proves you don’t know to pay for expensive private tuition. Many of the most useful tools and learning materials are free or low cost – newspapers, music, movies, and books. You don’t need intensive classes costing thousands of dollars! I am really happy that I decided to learn to speak French fluently, and I hope I can help you with some of the things I have picked up.
I am planning to move to Paris and work there, sometime in 2011, so fingers crossed it all goes to plan. This would not have been possible if I had not learnt to speak French fluently. If you have any comments or queries about how to speak French fluently, just let me know and I will do my best to help.
