🔥 Why is French so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. In reality, you can gain basic French fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand common words, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of French. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have French tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to learn French?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in French will take at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of French or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in French out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational French classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the French tutor?
In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened French tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.
🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
