subject: Best Way To Learn French? Try A French Lesson Online [print this page] Anybody else remember dull old French lessons, endlessly repeating words to a teacher with an accent that didn't remotely resemble the language? Thank goodness we don't have to do that any more! I guess they meant well, but it wasn't exactly the best way to learn French!
These days we have so much more choice - and French lessons are so much more entertaining. What's more, with French MP3s - which are provided with most software to learn French - we can hear exactly how we are supposed to sound (even if our own accents are could do with a bit more practice!).
If learning to speak French is something you are interested in, you now have a terrific amount of choice. You can start with a free French lesson online and progress to interactive French downloads, software programs, CDs or DVDs. There are dozens of alternatives, from a few dollars to a few hundred. It's a fortunate position to be in.
But given the choice, what is the best way to learn French?
Well, free is good - most of us like free - and there are great glimpses of the French language to be had if you use your favorite search engine and look for free French lessons. In some cases you will find you are overwhelmed with adverts before you can actually find the lesson, but if that's the case just move on to the next result. A bit of a nuisance perhaps, but what can you expect for free? If you persevere you will find plenty of sites with good content.
When you want to take on the challenge of learning to speak fluent French you'll be delighted to know that it won't be anything like as hard as it used to be! You will need to invest a few dollars, but again, nothing like the price you would expect to pay for private French lessons. The cheaper options are OK for a beginner level, but if you want to learn properly then you'll get much more out of a complete course. Something that will take you from beginner to accomplished French speaker. You won't get frustrated by finding you have to keep on buying more CDs or DVDs either, which you might if you start with something too simple.
Top level French language software can be several hundred dollars - and some of those don't even have a French person as the teacher! When you can get a French download that will take you from basics to a high level of skill for around a third of the price, it's certainly an option worth considering.
