Fastest Way to Learn French?

Let’s face it, if you want to learn French, you want to learn it fast. With PCs now widely accessible, learning French has never been quicker.

If you’re setting out to learn French you want to do it in the shortest time possible, right? With the least amount of difficulty. That’s only natural. Who wants to sit around leafing through dusty old French textbooks? Nobody. So if you’re looking to learn French fast there’s only one sensible solution and that’s to learn French on your computer.

For a start you’ve got the internet. It’s a huge resource for learning the French language with many sites where you can start to learn absolutely free. A lot of them provide French on MP3 clips so you can actually hear the language. That’s the way you want to learn. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not completely anti-book, but a book can’t speak. How are you going to learn French properly without knowing how it’s spoken?

Here’s an example. If I try to write down how to pronounce the French alphabet you’d get something like this: aah, bay, cay, day, euh, efah – well you can’t do much with that can you? But if I actually speak it to you, if you could actually hear my voice… I think you can see what I mean.

So learning French on your computer is definitely the way forward. The internet can not only give you French MP3s but also on a few sites, like the BBC, video clips as well. These walk you through situations like getting a cab, asking directions, ordering food. Again you’ve got the benefit of hearing spoken French and these videos bring the whole thing to life. They’re entertaining, and if you’re being entertained you learn faster because it all seems so much easier.

You will soon find that you run out of free places online to learn French. After all, most free services are just trying to get you to sign up to some kind of paid service. I don’t think there’s a problem with that, that’s business. If they didn’t get paid we probably wouldn’t have these services at all. Just take advantage of the free French lessons you can find and move on.

The thing is, if you want to continue to learn French fast you’re probably going to have to eventually put your hand in your pocket.

Learning French on your computer is still the way to go though because now we’re moving into software to learn French – and great stuff it is too!

Whether you’re five or ninety-five there’s French software that can help. There’s just as broad a rage of prices too. At the bottom end you tend to get what you pay for, and to be honest although it’s not practical for me to check them all, those I have seen don’t offer a great deal. For $20.00 I’m afraid you don’t get a great deal more that the free stuff.

However, for not a lot more (and certainly way less than a course of private French lessons) there are some amazing programs like Rocket French. This is what learning French on your computer should be like, utilizing all the abilities of your PC. It’s fun, it’s interactive, it’s got games which will provide you with a bit of a challenge and you’ve got French MP3 sound files so you can copy them to a player or a CD and continue to learn while you’re out walking around or in the car maybe.

So much as I like a good book, if you want to learn French fast, with the minimum difficulty, learn French on your computer!
