Bonjour! 👋 Have you started to properly grasp the French language yet? 🇫🇷
Whether you’re here to explore different ways to reach fluency or motivate yourself to begin, here are some carefully curated tips just for you! 👀

🕺Tip 1: Practice makes you perfect
One of the most successful ways to really nail the French language is by reserving a few minutes everyday to run through what you already know. Whether that’s making vocabulary flashcards, having a go at quizzes, crosswords or whatever exercise you find works best for you. Another fun activity is to try practicing with a friend who is also trying to learn French - the more the merrier!

🗣 Tip 2: Talk, walk, hear, and think French
Begin by making conscious efforts to think of and then say certain words or phrases aloud in French. Start off by naming objects around your house in French then slowly progress from there!

👷Tip 3: Build a mini France around you.
Give yourself in to the French language as completely as you can. Dive in, swim, surround yourself with the language. Join groups, listen to podcasts, write and get feedback from authentic speakers, read French content online or start with kid’s French books, listen to French music, watch TV shows with French subtitles/dubbed in French… there’s so much choice! But remember, always try to target listening, speaking, reading and writing.

📚Tip 4: One French activity a day.
One day at a time is the goal, especially when it comes to learning a new language. Remember to never be hard on yourself as learning French is no easy feat! Start with small routines. For example if you’ve just started a French TV series, try watching a couple of episodes with subtitles on first and then try watching without. Or pick up a child’s book and give it a whirl. Listen to more songs in French. Read the news in French instead of in your native language. The possibilities are endless! Think of it as a boomerang process; the more you give, the more you get.

🔛 Tip 5: Turn on the French Mode.
Having French in your everyday life is as easy as switching on your phone. All you have to do is make small changes like switch your computer and phone language to French. Try out a few French apps, or change the language of the apps you use the most such as the News or Weather apps.

✈️ Tip 6: Time for a voyage!
Of course when and if it’s possible, traveling to any French speaking country will do wonders if you’re learning the language. Explore the different cities, take up classes, talk to the locals, befriend natives…just a few weeks in and you’ll fall in love with the language even more.
