Also can I ask how did you learn please I’m struggling😭

okay so basically i took it in high school and my prof was rly good...like dude actually lived in france for a little over a year! but back then i was dumb and didnt give a shit about french because i honestly hated how it sounded and i wanted to learn german so although i was pretty good at it i could’ve learned way more had i been eager to do so.

then i dropped out of hs and that same year i got my GED so i kinda forgot abt languages for a while until i got into law school last year and i thought FUCK i want to learn german (i’d been learning it at home since like 2014??? but then quit it and i was never rly...disciplined so there’s that) and when i got into my college’s german course i realized it was Too Much for me and it made me so pissed i dropped it kdsjghdkjgf

so i started french again on duolingo back in like...late january??? and i’ve realized that a lot of what i thought i wouldn’t know/remember actually stuck with me from those classes i took in hs. so yeah that was two years of basic french + workbooks and like additional material our hs provided

as for my advice, i think the most important thing when it comes to learning any language is practice and immersion, because one thing is writing sentences down in ur notebook and practicing grammar in duolingo or like any other platform of your liking and another entirely different thing is actually getting to use the language like a native would, that’s what got me to my current english level bc as you might’ve noticed, english isn’t my first language! but i’ve been learning it since i was a kid and at some point i started watching news/tv/movies and like reading and listening to music in english so i could become more familiarized with the language to the point where i didnt need to translate stuff from english to spanish anymore and i began thinking in english!!!

subs are rly helpful when it comes to foreign media (okay i hope that didn’t sound too condescending or stupid) because u can adapt to ur level of proficiency in the language you’re learning! for example, back in the day i used to watch stuff w/spanish subs so i could understand what people were saying without going crazy, but as my english got more advance i slowly transitioned to english subs which can be extremely helpful with vocabulary and even grammar!!! i stopped needing subs altogether for media in english when i was like...15 i think???? but i do have adhd so i still use them from time to time

ALSO if ur native language is a romance language (spanish, portuguese, italian, portuguese, romanian) it’s going to be A LOT easier for u to learn french bc it’s also a romance language. on the other hand, if english is your native language then it’s going to be slightly harder since english is a germanic language and that’s p much opposite ends of the spectrum soooo that might be a reason why it’s been difficult for u to learn it so far!

i hope this was helpful and if u have any other questions regarding...rly anything language related, im in no way an expert but i’ll try my best to answer them!!!
