Everything I know about learning French, in one place, Here!
Before you dive in, know that you can learn French to fluency as an adult.
I should be charging you for this!
How French Has Benefited Me
From improving my self image to beginning my career in Data, French has done a lot for me.
I was an average student in India, without the acumen to ace aptitude exams or rank first in my class. I never saw myself as someone who aced anything, and when I started getting better at French, I had this feeling for the first time.
I went on to move to France and learned the language to Fluency, and given the rareness of foreigners learning the language to the level I did, I had the chance to give a TED-X talk about it and feature in Easy-French's YouTube channel
HOW LONG I TOOK TO LEARN FRENCH
I'm just going to unapologetically tell you the number. I started learning French in 2009.
Yes, I'm slow. Everyone is, actually. When you're focusing on Engineering school, getting a job, moving abroad and getting a job, it becomes impossible to only work on one thing.
I find it better to count my investment in hours of work. When I was studying engineering, I couldn't really spend all day learning French. I would spend a few hours per week of unorganised work, and that gave me the base I needed to get the ground running when I moved to France
HOW-I GUIDES
The reason I call them 'How-I' guides instead of 'How-to' guides is because there isn't one perfect way to learn French. You can pick and chose from my experiments and see what works for you

“if you never try you’ll never know”
Some exercises may work out for you while some others may not be your favourite. Seek out what doesn't work for you and replace with what does. Best way to do that is to try what worked out for someone else
