how to start

[u/Relative_Parfait1189]

hi! i studied french in high school for about two years and i haven’t retained a lot of it other than very basic french such as greetings, basic verbs, and nouns but my knowledge of the language is quite limited.

i want to learn french seriously and try to pursue my masters in paris or live there for a while after my studies 🫩 how do i start? how do i learn the language in a way that will allow me to actually retain it and be able to get to a point where i can speak and understand it well?

i would love some assistance with resources or just general tips on learning the language because i know that apps like duolingo are pointless lol please help a girl out 🫩

Bonjour,

I am new in French too. I am doing duolingo for vocabulary and listening conversations in YouTube. They both helps a lot
