Advice on learn French

Advice on learn French

hi all first we talk About learn French
French is a Romance language, descended from Latin and closely related to Portuguese, Spanish,
Italian, and Romanian. It is the native tongue of over 77 million people and has an additional 68 million
non-native speakers. In medieval times and until the 19th century, it was often the language used in
diplomacy, culture, administration, royal courts across Europe and also in trade, thus appropriately
becoming the lingua franca of its time.
In modern terms, it is still significantly used as a diplomatic language, being an official language of the
United Nations, the Olympic Games, and the European Union. It is spoken in France, Belgium,
Switzerland, Luxemburg, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Madagascar, the Congo,
Algeria, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Gabon, the Seychelles, Burundi, Chad, Rwanda, Djibouti,
Cameroon, Mauritius, and Canada (mostly in the province of Québec, where it is the primary language,
but it is also used in other parts of the country - notably New Brunswick, which is the only bilingual
province. All consumer product packages in Canada are required by law to have both English and
French labels).
French-speaking people have made incursions upon the British Isles many times in the past, most
noticeably in the Norman Invasion of 1066. For this reason, although English is a Germanic language,
at least a third of the English lexicon is derived from French

Advice on learn French

 French tends to have a bad reputation amongst English speakers as hard to learn. While it is true that it poses certain difficulties to native English-speakers, it may be noted that English is also considered to be 'difficult', and yet we learnt it without the benefit of already knowing a language. Learning any new language requires some commitment, generally long-term. Remember that, like any skill, it requires a certain amount of effort. And if you do not practice your French regularly, it is highly likely that you will begin to forget it. Try to make it a part of your schedule; even if it's not daily, at least make it regular. Remember that you are learning a new skill. Try to master the simple stuff before moving on to the more complex. We all have to add and subtract before we can do calculus. French is a complete language. While this course can teach you to read and write in French, this is only half of the skills that make up fluency. A written document cannot teach much about listening to and speaking French. You must train all of these skills, and they will reinforce one another. For listening and speaking, finding a native speaker to help you once you have some skill will help you with these skills.

The very best way to learn French is to get amnesia in France or another French-speaking country. This
allows you to start with a clean slate, as babies do. However, most of us are unwilling to take that step.
The next best thing is immersion. If you are serious about learning French, a period of immersion
(where you go to live in a Francophone culture) is a good idea once you are moderately studied. Most
countries are in the relative vicinity of a French-speaking country.
How i can Travel to french speacking country? If you can't travel to a French-speaking country, then try listening to French-language programs on the
radio, TV, or the Internet. Rent or buy French-language movies. Pay attention to pronunciation. Grab a
French speaker you meet and talk to him or her in French. Listen, speak, and practice.
Read French newspapers and magazines. Again, an excellent source is Google's news page, which links
to French-language news stories, which will enrich your vocabulary.
