🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking French?
Some people brag about their 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 practice. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of French or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in French out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational French classes online.
