🔥 Why is French not easy and are there ways to learn it faster?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. As proven by others before, 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 most words, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of French. After gaining 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 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 study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of French or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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?
