If you're into cars, learn the French for describing the dynamics of an automobile. If you're into cooking, learn what that rich tapestry of language means for each dish. You know, Americans think of Bistro's as some sort of elegant quasi French experience.

If you can’t stomach France, try some time in Quebec, but these are famously unfriendly people towards Amis.

Otherwise, translate your hobbies, interests, etc. into French. If you’re into cars, learn the French for describing the dynamics of an automobile. If you’re into cooking, learn what that rich tapestry of language means for each dish. You know, Americans think of Bistro’s as some sort of elegant quasi French experience. To the French, it’s simply where one goes to QUICKLY get a “croque monsieur” (a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of ham) and “une blonde” ( a light beer)-kinda like “Jack’s Sandwich Shop.”

Yeah, French as a third language is that deep and intimidating. But what a pay off.

You can accelerate your learning process by using French every day, whether in conversations with native speakers, reading books and newspapers, watching excellent films, or whatever will increase your motivation. You might consider getting a different teacher or a private tutor. Sometimes a bad teacher can make you reluctant to learn. French has enough in common with English that your knowledge of English should help you, once you adjust for the basic differences in pronunciation.

But if you still have a year, try to enroll on a french class, plus the software.. then lastly try hangout with french people just to test how you can practically use the language.. who knows, you might also gain some friends.. the cheapest and most accessible way is to have a software, so that whenever and wherever you may be, you can practice.
