Learning French can be difficult at the best of times, but it can be even harder when you have limited time.

I understand, truly. Between work, family and social life, plus whatever other hobbies you try to enjoy, finding the time to practice can be tricky.

To help you with that, I’ve compiled a list of our best online courses for learning French. That’s right, you can now learn from the comfort of your own home, in your own time, whenever it suits you.

Fabuleux, non ?

But before we get started, let’s cover a few of the basics you need to know before embarking on self-study.

Get these foundational concepts in place, and your practice sessions will be more enjoyable and help you retain new information.

First and foremost: Be prepared to practice

Not just once, but many times.

Think of it like learning to swim. You don’t just jump in the water, try it once and win an Olympic medal, right? Of course not! It takes time and hard work, and a lot of practice.

So be prepared to review new words, phrases and sounds over and over again – until they stick.

Remember to space out your learning so it stays in your long term memory 

Second: Any French learning, is good French learning

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking “I don’t have 30 or 60 minutes to devote to French, so I won’t do any study today”. Do this, and you’ll find you’re putting off your studies most days.

If you only have 10 minutes, that is still enough. If you only have 5 minutes, that is still enough! Great learning comes from repetition. Even the smallest revision will help you to learn.

Instead of tackling something brand new in a short study session, why not use 5 minutes to recall something you learned recently?

Third: it’s okay to get things wrong

Mistakes happen, and we need to accept this. Better yet, embrace them!

We learn some of our biggest lessons not by getting things perfect on the first go, but from making mistakes along the way. When we make mistakes, we’re effectively learning how not to do something.

Now that we’ve covered those basics, it’s time to tell you all about our French Speak courses.
