How to become fluent (almost fluent) in French?

How long would it take to become semi-fluent in french?

  • i am learning it at school too, but i am one of the only ones who is interested in it in my class i am doing a bit everyday at home also.. i need to improve though. i'd love to be able to speak it semi-fluent i am a 15 year old girl, is there anything i could use to help me improve, any advice. and i am going for a holiday in france for two weeks next year. thankyou for your time x

  • Answer:

    Conversation, preferably with a native speaker, is the key. You'll make much quicker progress if you actually get to apply what you've learned outside of the classroom, the more frequently the better. As for your progress... I obviously can't answer that, since not everyone learns at the same pace. Having said that, your enthusiasm and willingness to do more than the strict minimum expected of you bode well. Kudos to you and best of luck!

Ive been learning french for many years now and I have just finished my A levels where i chose french and am going to uni this year (so am 18) and i was no way near semi-fluent. It really depends upon your learning speed, as for me to pass exams i learnt lots the few weeks before, and a few weeks after lots has gone, it depends upon your brain etc. I would suggest though doing a combination of reading, listening, writing and speaking each week in a variety of ways, even if just 20/30 minutes a day, as this should help improve it. I did this and it helped for my exams

my friend lived in the country for 3 years and had 1 hour lessons everyday for probably about 2 years, and she's pretty much semi fluent :D

To speak a language you have TO SPEAK.

well im not properly fluent, but i speak A LOT of french, and i just got some text books to work from, metro books, or you could use au point, and worked from them and also my sister helped a bit as she was taking a GCSE in french. im 13 now and ive been doing it since i was about 11, so it hasnt taken that long really. keep doing it at home, and maybe get some tutorials for after school or something. firstly, understand all the tenses, then when you do those other things will crop up along the way, and then whatever you do KEEP PRACTISING IT as its very easy to forget. im always open to try and help you.. email me on: [email protected] if you want any help or advice hope i helped :) xx

It is easier to learn a language if you live in a country where they speak it. In your case I would advise you to get a tutor preferably a native speaker. Practice simple conversations then as you progress practice grammar, conjugation, literature and spelling.

Well if you;re not a natural linguist then wait till u get to a-levels and you should be able to have a fluent conversation. Thats if you work hard enough and work to the right standard.
