🔥 Why is French not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most sentences, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun 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 speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to master French?
Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in French will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The required duration of time can differ by a lot 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 recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, 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 a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational French classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own French teacher?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, certainly! The largest selection of tested French tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

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.
