Ever wanted to learn French but you are just a few weeks away from your holiday or business meeting in France? Are you having a hard time memorizing new terminologies and pronunciations only to find out a few days after that you have completely forgotten how a certain term is said in French? I am on the process of learning myself and I do bump into these problems often. However, I have some tips to share to enhance your learning experience.
1. Start with setting realistic goals and schedules and stick to it! What do you want to learn after a certain amount of time? How much time do you have to offer per day? Stay consistent on your schedule. It is easy to set goals and make schedules, but one of the problems when learning another language is failure to follow it. Also, if your time is limited, it is ideal to start learning the things that you need most. It is best to start learning at your own pace with consistency.
2. Sticky Ideas-if you can not easily memorize them, sticky notes \'em! Yes, It does make a mess for some. In my own case, for instance, I labelled almost all things in my room with their french translations. These are items such as your bed, cupboards, sugar storage containers, laptops, drawers, and the likes. Read them aloud and start identifying them on how they are said in French. It makes recalling French terminologies easier. Some of these things are commonly used as you see these everyday. Just be careful on where you put them though as these are combustible.
3. Look for a language partner or group. Try looking for a person or a group whom you can share your insights with about learning French. It can be a native speaker or someone at your level who is also interested in learning the French language. A lot of French forums are available on-line. You can practise your learning through live chats and actual conversations. Always remember that learning the language through pure memorization does not do the job all the time. Communication is not always one-way. Having a study partner also makes you reflective on how much you have learned over time.
4. Do not get to conscious on making mistakes. You are studying to learn and making errors are also a part it. Remember your days in school? We do not get perfect remarks all the time. Errors are there to be corrected so it can be avoided or improved. Always remember that many people are willing to help especially native speakers.
These are some of the tips that worked well for me while learning French. Also, there are a ton of free resources out there that can be very useful. Good luck! A bientot!
