11 Solutions to Improve Your French Speaking
French is one of the most popular and widely spoken languages in the world. Don’t tell me since the French didn’t colonize India; you don’t need to acquire it. You would certainly wish to do it if it becomes a prerequisite for obtaining qualifications for a well-paid job requiring French. Speakers of the French language are in the pole position to build a sound future. It also brings a lot of benefits for you in your communication skills, economic and cultural gateways. It is essential to learn the French language because most of the MNC in India are from Europe, and the majority of them have their origin traceable to France. That means you will have to know the language if you wish to work for businesses that require French as a criterion for employment.
French is vital for you to learn because it is the most popular choice among Indian students studying a foreign language. Learning the French language adds more firepower to your resume. For instance, India has a population of over 1.3 billion people, and it’s seen as an attractive market for hundreds of multinational companies. Most of these multinational companies come from Europe and other continents where French is widespread publicly. These have raised the stake for job seekers to learn a foreign language, and one of which is French.
In this blog, we’ll look at some of the ways to improve French Speaking Skills:
- Readout loud: Try your best to pronounce the words correctly, but don’t obsess about it. Read swiftly, emote and put some inflexion on the sentences. Reading aloud helps to train the muscles of your mouth and diaphragm to produce unfamiliar words and sounds. If you’re listening to a lesson and reading along, read out loud. Then re-read and speed up your tempo. Do this again and again until you can speak faster.
- Read in French every day: It doesn’t matter what – just get reading! The most important thing is to read on a topic that interests you. If you’re into cooking – read a French food blog. For literature lovers, read a book you’ve enjoyed in English, in French. Remember to write down any vocabulary you don’t know so you can look them up later.
- Listen to French radio: French sounds vastly different from how it is written, so an essential part of your home study must include listening to French. Thank heavens for the internet, where you can listen to French radio sans problems.
- French Grammar: French is a very structured language, and you need to understand this structure. Then you can move on to acquiring reflexes and have the words come naturally to you. But at one point, you need to understand how French works, how you must arrange the words to build a sentence. And that is what grammar is.
- Switch on your TV to watch French game shows: Every one of us loves watching game shows and mostly knows what the next anchors are going to utter, and in this way, you can learn French quite easily.
- Translate From English To French: Making your own French Flashcards are a great way to memorize a lot of vocabulary. Don’t forget to always have an article to go with a noun so you learn the gender as well as the noun. When memorizing new vocabulary, remember that it’s not because you understand the French word that you could come up with it.
- Keep a French diary: You can write whatever you like in this diary: Write about the weather. Make a grocery list. What you plan to do that day. What you already did that day. A description of a colleague at work. Until you’re comfortable changing tenses, we recommend focusing on writing in a particular tense.
- Listen to French music: Nothing can pull you deep inside a language better than song. Find your favorite French tune on YouTube and learn the song by heart. Pay close attention to pronunciation.
- Review again and again: This is the key to perfection, and we can’t emphasize it enough. Most learners don’t review! If you review and repeat lines again and again, you’ll be speaking better, faster and with more confidence.
- Change your technology settings: It’s an easy way to expose yourself to the language – plus it’ll remind you to practice! Why not make the language on your cell phone, tablet, or computer, French?
- Repetition Is The Key: You’d be surprised by how many people try to avoid talking! The more you speak, the faster you learn – and that is why you’re learning French. When you spend time memorizing something, your brain will store it in its short term memory. So it’s better to work on your French regularly, for say 20 minutes per day and do a lot of repetitions than spend 3 hours on it once a week.
