The French language has always had the reputation of being a difficult language, if not the most difficult to learn.
FLE courses are dreaded because of this preconception.
However, it is neither the most difficult nor the easiest language, and we will help you to stop being afraid of it!
According to UNESCO, French is the 10th most difficult language in the world after Chinese, Greek, Literary Arabic, Icelandic, Japanese, Finnish, German, Norwegian and Danish.
But where does this reputation come from?
The many tenses used for conjugation, the combinations of letters to create new sounds, the silent letters and the use of the feminine or masculine are all points that make French sometimes complicated.
How can you overcome these difficulties?
Here are 5 ideas that will help you learn French in no time:
1. Take French lessons with an experienced teacher. He or she will be able to create a personalised learning programme that will help you to progress more quickly and to quickly correct your mistakes.
2. Learn more about French history. Its culture will encourage you to get to know the country better, to appreciate it more and therefore make it easier to learn the language.
3. Use children's books, which teach you the words through pictures that represent them. Some people have a visual memory, if this is your case a good way to learn is to visualise each word.
4. Do a real follow-up to analyse your progress and your difficulties. Sometimes it feels like you're stagnating and seeing your progress week after week helps motivate you.
5. Talking in French on a daily basis will allow you to pinpoint your difficulties and work on them. This is particularly useful for pronunciation.
It's up to you to make a personal commitment to your success!
In short, there are many things that make French quite complicated, hence its reputation.
But we have seen how to overcome these difficulties, thanks to these 5 tips that will simplify your learning of French.
Personal investment is essential, but the Institut Évolution is also there to support you, with follow-up throughout your learning process.
