Learn French easily and in record time

The time it takes for you to learn French will entirely depend on yourself. Lingoda can provide you with a top-notch education and native-level speaking teachers who can guide you throughout the courses. However, ultimately the length of time it takes is purely subjective to the student. Similar to learning any other new skills, the amount of practice and commitment are the factors involved that will define how long it will take you to become fluent.

If you wish to learn French fluently in less time, you can start by picking up a French book, watching a French series, speaking to French native speakers, and generally starting using the language outside of class.

It’s never easy to learn a new language, but French isn’t as hard as it seems… although its grammar can be very confusing. No matter what language you speak at home, French is known to be one of the more accessible languages, especially for North American and European people. There are plenty of similarities between French, English, Spanish, and other Romance languages. However, you will still need to put in the work and commitment to fully achieve a fluent level of French during your time studying with Lingoda.

According to the FSI scale French is ranked as a “category I language”, which means that it is “more similar to English”, as compared to categories III and IV “hard” or “super-hard languages.” French is one of the easiest languages to learn for a native English speaker and it should take on average 30 weeks to achieve proficiency. Being a Romance language, you will be able to find plenty of similarities between French and English. However, it is still very important to focus and keep track of your progress while learning French. There are also a few challenging differences you must overcome to become fluent in the language.

Several things are complicated to learn while learning French. However, generally speaking, the hardest thing about learning the language is oral comprehension. The reason for this is because of the variations in vernacular, the urgency of listening, our brains’ resistance to the spoken word, and silent letters. Moreover, a lack of oral comprehension will also completely disable you in everyday life when learning French, whereas you can overcome other challenges more easily. There is nothing to fear, our native-level teachers will be able to help you conquer this challenge during the immersive French lessons.
