I m just looking for something with good result and fun to learn. Thank you so much for reading, and please help me, i would really appreciate it. have a nice day Rosetta Stone is always the best for learning a language by yourself at home, but a major downside is that it is very expensive. I would really be careful about choosing a different computer program though, because I know that a lot of the cheaper ones aren’t good (as in they aren’t as efficient and might make you frustrated). My dad really loves listening to language CDs, but I can’t pay attention to those for more than 15 minutes before it starts to melt into itself.

• cultural schizophrenia by petite anglaise – I’ve come to the conclusion that being bilingual is not just about speaking and thinking in two different languages. When I first moved to France, despite my twelve or so years of French lessons at school, culminating in a university degree in French and German, I found it horribly difficult to express myself in French. I could get my point across, make conversation and understand what was being said around me, but I struggled to translate my actual personality.

Anyone who enrolls for French cooking lessons will find that learning the Cooking terms in French is one of the hardest things to do.

It is advisable that all students who wish to excel in French cooking learn these terms and here are a few tips which could be helpful to you if you are not fluent in the French language.

The first thing you need to do is learn what the term stands for. You can equate the term with some word which has a similar meaning in the English dictionary.

Though it is difficult to learn the terms used in French cooking it can also be quite confusing at times. It is important to spend time to learn how and when to use the terms correctly and this will enable you to master it effectively in a short period.

Learning French or any other foreign language require methodology, perseverance and love. In this article, you are going to discover a unique learn French method.

1- Travel To Paris

Flight and learn… Many will swear that it is the best method to learn French.

Beware! It’s not always right. Actually, even if you are in France, there are a lot of factors that can prevent you from becoming fluent.

For instance:

1- Lack of preparation

2- No transportation available (from your home to the French class)

3- Too much time enjoying your trip!

4- Lack of motivation

5- Non effective teacher

6- And many others…

Plus, this option is expensive since you will have to take the plane, sleep in a hotel, pay for your transportation… Not easy!

2- Go to your local community class

This is an other excellent option. With the first learn French method above, you were in a pure French immersion though.

When you learn French in your local area, you can be sure that you are going to speak English most of the time… Be sure to choose a real French native speaker.

This is easier than the first method, but for sure less effective.

3- Learn French from home with a software, cd, book…

This third option is cheaper and effective as well. Plus it can be a complement to any of the third options we saw above.

This method is usually cheaper and more comfortable because you can learn the French language at your own pace, and even while you are commuting!

There are only two difficulties:

1- You need to choose the right learn French software (or cd).

2- You need to arm yourself with motivation.

The Learn French Method that I recommend is the following:

First, get in touch with a French native speaker (you can find him over the Internet). Then, get a French course on the Internet as well.

If you have enough money, spend some time in France (or any French speaking country), and buy a dictionary. A Learn French software can only help you.
