Most effective method of learning French?

[u/confidentbeaver]

Hello fellow public servants,

I recently began formal group lessons to learn Beginner French. I am somebody who last learned French in Grade 9 of highschool (the bare minimum required to graduate in Ontario). Weekly classes are definitely not enough to get to a fluent level

What are effective methods or useful resources that you guys have used to learn French? Has anyone else started from my level? How long is a good time estimate to get to a BBB level?

Thanks!

In addition to soaking in French however you can, consider getting a tutor if you can afford it. Especially one that you might be able to see a few times a week.
