Learning French For Beginners

View:

One of the most fun and exciting ways to learn French is to use a Learn French DVD. These DVDs can be used again and again, and offer excellent interactive learning and challenge you with fun games and brain bending quizzes. I have put together a list of the top four tips to help you find the right French DVD for you.

Learn French DVD tip 1 - Don't rush out and buy the first product you see ? there's no rush. Take a some time to work out which product will really suit your every need. There are so many products available you are bound to find one that ticks every box. Before you buy check for a returns policy. Adverts can sometimes be misleading, you can never be one hundred percent certain what you are going to get. If you are not satisfied, send it back. There is no point buying it, if you are never going to buy it.

Learn French DVD tip 2 - You will find a huge variety of French DVD products on auction sites such as ebay.com. This is an excellent way of picking up reduced price goods as well as some excellent second hand offers. Most of the sellers are 100% trustworthy, but there are always some sellers who will try to rip you off. The best way to avoid these con artists is by checking out their feedback ratings. Buy from sellers with 100% rating and a large history of selling goods online. Never buy from someone who has a low rating, if they have only just started trading, or if they have hidden there feedback. Again check for a returns policy and always use secure payment providers such as paypal.

Learn French DVD tip 3 - Did you know that European DVDs won't work on US DVD players and that US DVDs don't work on European players? All US DVDs are region 1, whilst all European DVDs are region 2. You may also come across region 0, but don't worry these disc will work on any player. Make sure you check the region before you buy you French tuition DVDs. If you buy the wrong ones and have to send them back, you will have to foot the bill for the postage cost. If you are sending large packages back to another country this could be very costly ? so make sure you check.

Learn French DVD tip 4 - Buying French DVD products can sometimes be very expensive. If you're not currently able to afford a full course, why not start your French education by checking out some free online alternatives. I bet you have heard of and perhaps even used streaming videos sites like youtube.com before. Did you know that there are hundred of free French tuition clips available on these sites? These sites may not be able to offer you the structured learning a full French DVD course could, but they are definitely a great place to start you learning. Whenever you get some free net time, just check out a new clip ? it's that easy!

I hope my top tips have helped you realise that French DVDs are the perfect learning tool for anyone wanting to learn French. Not only to they make learning easy but they can be used over and over again to help you perfect you French conversational skills and pronunciation. By using my tips I'm sure you be able to find a great DVD package in no time at all.

Learning French For Beginners

Today we get along with the French language pretty well - but there's still room for improvement so we continue to try new ideas, programs, software and books as they come along. We're also having lessons with a retired teacher who we met locally.

What we're hoping to pass on, via a series of articles, is our experiences (both our successes and our failures) in order to perhaps be of some help to those of you who are visiting France – whether that's just for the occasional holiday, in search of a second home or moving here permanently. Here we go then…

There are many ways to learn French. Kate and I both have our preferences and you will probably need to try a couple of methods before you find what suits you best. We've found that investing in a few books and couple of CD or pc-based courses is well worth it.

However, one of the largest learning resouces is, of course, the internet and there are many ways to start to learn French online. An added bonus is that, with a little searching, you can find several sites where you can begin to learn French for free. No single site has all the answers – and we strongly advise you to look at other methods as well - but as it won't cost you anything, why not dive in?

So where do you start? Well if you type "how to learn French" into a search engine you'll get millions of answers - far too many to list here. We're also unable to give you direct link to websites in this article but if you visit our site at www.how2learnfrench.com you can get access to a few of the places we like best such as, for example, the excellent resources of the BBC.

When you're ready to move on from the feee exercises, which can be a bit limited, you'll be looking at home-study or “distance learning” via CD, pc software, books etc. Some courses offer an interesting and entertaining mixture of medias which all help speed up learning. We'll be covering some of those in a further article and again, our website has plenty of details. We'll also look at what we think is the most effective way of learning French which, for those with pockets deep enough, is to be right here in France.

But that's for another day. In the meantime, remember that almost any learning is better than none at all. The only proviso we would give is that with a language you need to be able to hear it so as not to learn bad pronunciation habits – this is where language CDs are at their most useful.

Until next time, good luck with it. Maybe we'll see you over here one day!
