What you say is your biggest problem (no one to carrier on a conversation with) is the best way to advance and refine you ability. Have you looked searched the web for groups that will help with this?
yeah I tried looking online and I was hoping someone would post a link or point me in the right direction or a forum that helped them may be .. I guess i'll have to look harder
having a face to face conversation vs online or texting etc is definitely a world's difference
You COULD try making contact with French speaking CBers we do have a few of those. I know of at least 2 CBers from France and several from Canada that are bilingual.
I've been trying to learn french on my own using audio books and google translate and I do understand it just can't remember since no one to talk to!
Anyone have any success stories on learning french on their own? Any suggestions?
Let me know! thanks in advance
I have the same problem. I have found speaking the biggest problem and also I dont like the way I sound sometimes. I have started to speak with natives using Easy language Exchange - Learning community - Correspondant Anglais, I get to practice my speaking and it's really helping with my confidence.
There are lots of sites out there that can help you, just try and pick the one that works for you.
I recommend for you free program Lingling - more than one million people around the world use this app. It allows to learn 1,000 new words per month with French language. You can download for free for android:
I'm busy learning French myself as well and though the French games mentioned above can help a lot a feel it's a combination of French games, exercises, talking to people that really helps. I website that helped me a lot was: How to pronounce French words.
Being honest I believe that to learn any language you actually need to be around native speakers because there is only so much you can learn from books etc.
Find a group or create a bbm group and as I see a good site has been recommended,
