I started French lessons a couple of weeks ago. This is the third time that I attempt to learn French. This time I am promising myself it will be different. I will apply myself and I will continue learning on my own after the lessons end. That is what I keep telling myself, but I am already having trouble doing the homework. I get distracted. I leave it for tomorrow. I let all else come first.
Having lessons once a week is not enough. I have to do whatever I can on all the other days to keep French in my mind. Of course doing some homework on those days would help, but homework is not fun.
I have been searching for fun games, music and movies. I welcome any tips or ideas on things that I can do to help me learn French.
I can comprehend, read and write better than I can speak. My major problem is the pronunciation. It doesn’t come easy. It is a bit embarrassing and frustrating.
I found a French series on Netflix that I love. I wish they had many more seasons, but there are only two. It is called Call My Agent. The original title in French is Dix Pour Cent.
I was so excited when I discovered that one of my favorite Spanish singers sings in French. His name is Pablo Alboran.

Listen to him, mon amie! It does help just listening to French all the time. If you don’t call it homework but 30 study minutes each day it might help too.
My French is pretty rusty, but I love the language. It’s beautiful and romantic. Good luck!

Hi Ute
Perhaps I do need to stop looking at it as homework, and make sure I study the book a little bit each day, instead of cramming it all in one day as it is my tendency.
This time I hope to stick to it, even if I am not that great at studying.
Thank you and wishing you a blessed week! 🙂
