    That's exactly how I started learning French, one word per day, then two words per day and so on. I had told myself, " I will never learn this language in my life" when I cracked opened a French/English dictionary back in high school". However, now I'm practically fluent and I've gotten so good at listening , is like working out to stay in shape, the results come in months or years, but you keep it up because you know you're getting there. Above all, a genuine interest and passion are important. Merci beaucoup!

    Unfortunately in my country it is extremely rare to meet a french speaking person. I learn many french words by reading a lot ,listening to tv. And watching french movies. My goal is to be able to read French classical works, such as camus, victor hugo, maupassant etc.

      Then a good way to practise to sing it everywhere alone, for example in car. First time better with watching lyrics, later you can do without it. And shortly you can understand what you are saying too.

    I feel like one of the best way to educate you ear is video books, songs, and reading. I struggled with English since 1997, in 2005 I moved to USA but I was still struggling in confidence to pronounce things. In 2019 I started ESL in my community college which it led me into reading a lot of books, listening to music, TV and or kindle book which are books with audio sound. Ever since I followed my professor advice I started gaining confidence when I speak... Remember lesson for life when it comes to learn languages. Currently I am learning French 🇫🇷 ❤️. This is my third language, counting my native language.

      I do the same. We moved to Paris when my wife was accepted to a university here and so _suddenly_ we needed to learn French. Whenever I think about somewhere I need to go, I think about what I might say to people there. I look those phrases up, practice them a couple of times, and if I forget under pressure No Problem! I just open the translator on my phone and show the person the translation. If they see that and understand, I think it might be my pronunciation so I ask them to say that phrase, then I repeat it, exactly, like a maniac. XD
      It gets some funny responses but I have never, _not once,_ been ridiculed for trying. I think it brings some amusement into people's days if nothing else.

    • @LabGecko
      @LabGecko Před rokem

      Also, are you a native speaker of English? I hope you won't mind a suggestion - the way you are using "affect" is a little unusual. Normally a native speaker would use "effect", with an E. However, these two words are _very_ often confused by native speakers too, so it isn't a big deal.

    If you stick with the 10,000 frequency list (most common vocabulary), at intermediate level in a five hour study you'll see the tough ones (towards the end of the list) pop up all the time. You badly need these 10,000... But not everybody can dedicate the hours every day. Not only in French of course, people working about a language with just 5,000 are destitute. One other motive (among many others), with these 10,000 as a basis you can start tackling the idioms.

    Km just saying, you will learn WAY more vocabulary and remember it better if you learn words in context. Because you will be able to see how that word is used in actual language instead of on its own. also, you learn some of the words around it, so not only do you learn the word your studying AND how to use it, you’re learning other words too

    good ideas but also make a flash card for each new word with a phrase or sentence including it with translation to your native tongue on the back.

    Where is the guide that you mention at the end of the video? Is it a PDF or a video? (I see the video "How to sound French / French Prononciation tips" - is that it?

    J'ai appris le français c'est grâce à Novelas TV que ma maman regarde tous les jours.
    J'aime pas la série Novelas mais ça m'a aidé de parler facilement et automatiquement en français😊 I suggest you guys listen to French audio or watch tv show in french.
