Introduction:

French language is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other languages d’oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France’s past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French.

Things to keep in mind

1.Speaking:

It is often the hardest of the four language skills, but as soon as you can speak a little French there are lots of ways to improve quickly and have tons of fun.

Join voiced chats. Technology has advanced a lot in terms of social networks so, wherever you live, you’ll find a chat room to join. Talk and record yourself. This may sound funny, but it will help you realize how you can improve by repeating the recording several times till you feel happy with the results. Talk to your classmates in French when you are not in class. You can even make a group to play games, have a meal or just chat together.

2.Lock yourself in the room and talk to yourself in French in front of a mirror

Your elders might have suggested you before too but it seriously works. Chat with yourself in front of the mirror; if possible enact a role play be it a teacher-student, cook, a French actor delivering a speech, etc. It facilitates an improvement in giving a response in French in distinct situations. This will also remove hesitation as well in overcoming pauses that usually strike while trying to speak a new language.

3.Go on to listen to French audio anytime and anywhere

Stuff that we hear again and again gets easily stored in our memory box. Try to listen to French audio as much as possible to be able to speak fluently. This may result in a dual benefit of improving listening skills along with getting versed with the language. The finest way to get a hold of French is to practice the process of hearing, understanding, and finally speaking. Try to memorize what you heard while watching a French movie or a TV show like news or you can make a keyword list that you can go through frequently.

4.Repeat or revise as much as possible

Repetition and revision is the key to learning a language. Just go on to repeat so that you don’t forget it easily.

5.Read French out loud

This could be a little problematic, but reading French loud will work for sure. Reading is the best mode to deal with the complexity involved in the language of France. This would help the reader in the composition of sentences and French dialogue.
